Usually I feel very streaky with everything I do, including things that are at least in part not under my control. Lately, however, my luck has been much more back and forth that usual, with a good thing directly followed by a bad thing or vice versa. Mostly the latter.
I'll start with one of the more trivial aspects of my life - fantasy baseball. This morning I had an autopick draft (the site chose my team as I slept) in which I got a lot of the players that I wanted (good) yet my autopicker picked two backup shortstops and several backup outfielders before giving me any infielders that aren't shortstops (not so good). Hopefully someone will trade with me. I also considered myself lucky to have Curtis Granderson on my keeper league team and I autopicked him this morning, but I found out this afternoon that he just broke a bone in his hand. As far as broken bones go its considered to be fairly innocuous at least. Up and down, up and down.
A couple of weeks ago, one of my keys to my apartment fell off my keychain and I never got it back on. Last night, I kept my keys in the pocket of pants that are not conducive to keeping things in and they all fell out. I was at the Magnet Theater at the time and everyone there was very nice about helping me to look for them and we found the key that had fallen off of my chain. That was the key that opens my apartment door, which I would have had no way of getting to my bed without. We did not find the keys that were still on the chain, which was somewhat worrisome considering my upcoming after 2AM morning before Easter sunday arrival. I got to my apartment house and all the lights that I could see were dark. It could've been a long, cold, night. And within a minute I see someone in the hallway probably going outside to smoke a cigarette. I got in and now it's a little harder for me to dislike the tobacco industry quite as much as I do. Because it's Easter I can't get new keys now so I'll have to stay in tonight, but maybe I'll get something done that I otherwise wouldn't have.
