I remember my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Spicer - who lived down the street from me, once read to us a story called "Fortunately... Unfortunately." Well - this was our Fortunate/Unfortunate Day...
Unfortunately... I woke up with a migraine headache (the kind that makes light a source of pain.)
Fortunately... I still found the energy required to wash the growing laundry pile.
Unfortunately... I tried to dry a load that was too big or too wet and the dryer ceased to function.
Fortunately... When we bought our home, someone left a clothes line in the back yard that we never took down.
Unfortunately... It KILLED my already aching head to be out in the bright sunny day hanging wet clothes.
Fortunately... It was sunny and windy (the best weather for drying clothes.)
Unfortunately... It was windy and I didn't have very many clothes pins.
Fortunately... Locksley kept a close eye on the laundry and barked whenever something fell off.
Unfortunately... Ever time I went outside to retrieve a fallen piece, Stevie thought that meant she should get to play outside for an hour.
Fortunately... This didn't kill me and now our laundry smell very fresh.
The End. (Mrs. Spicer would be very proud.)
