Some Days, You Just FEEL Lucky

We had a dark-skied downpour on Saturday afternoon. I bemoaned to Hick that of course it would happen when I was ready to leave for town. I went to get dressed in my town clothes, and the sun came out!

On the way to town, I saw more dark clouds moving in. I planned my stops so that if I got drenched, it would give me the least embarrassment in the last places I was going.

I parked at the Gas Station Chicken Store for my first stop, to cash in winning scratchers and buy two $5 tickets. When I opened T-Hoe's door, I saw a DIME! Lucky me.

From there I went to Casey's almost next door, and there was a parking spot available! Lucky me.

Next it was the drive-thru mailbox at the dead-mouse-smelling post office. I shoved in my phone bill and electric bill just as rain began to sprinkle onto T-Hoe's windshield. Lucky me.

By the time I got to Country Mart to pick up a pharmacy item for Hick, and of course buy my $3 scratchers, the rain was pelting down. My parking place at the end of the store was open. And when I walked in along the front of the building, the angle of the rain was blocked. Not a drop got on me once I stepped from T-Hoe to the building! Lucky me.

When I came down the driveway upon returning home, I saw a giant rainbow that stretched from Copper Jack's house across the top of our hillbilly mansion to the BARn area. It was too wide to get a picture, but closer to the garage, I was able to get one of a smaller rainbow behind the house.
 
 
What a way to lift my already-lifted spirits. Lucky me.
 
 
There's a closer view. If you look really close, you can see my little Jack peering over the side of the carport, waiting for me rather than chasing a squirrel. Lucky me.

Once inside, I scratched my lottery tickets, and had a nice winner:
 
 
That's $75 on a $5 ticket! Lucky me! I wasn't 20X Lucky, but at least I was 10X + Lucky.

  2. I think I know how you feel. I had an INR appointment on Friday and my numbers were good (lucky me) although, usually it is in range. Just a couple of surprises over the years. Then, unbeknownst to me, my husband had finally (thought they were going to sit here forever as it's been 2 years - lucky me?)loaded up the 2 boxes of documents, receipts etc. that I had sorted from his dads house clean out and my dads stuff, when he moved into assisted living. Took to UPS for shredding and paid a third of what they quoted me at another UPS store, during the pandemic. (lucky us) Went to Arbys for a roast beef sandwich. None close to us and hadn't had one for about 6 years after moving from the suburbs. Then got a letter in the mail confirming that adjustments to my dads pension, that changed due to the death of his ex wife, have been made and what the new monthly payout would be. Took me over 4 months to get sorted. Assisted living is not cheap. He will be glad to hear this is finally done, almost as much as me as this has been a weight on my mind for too long. ( lucky me) I called it a 4 page red letter day. Glad you had a lucky day too. And BTW, if anyone wonders why I didn't do the shredding. I burned out 2 paper shredders and recycled over 35 brown paper bags, packed tight, of shredded paper. It was cheaper than destroying, yet again, another paper shredder. There was a lot of paper. His mom and dad didn't throw out anything, ever. Back then, lots of stuff had SS numbers and stuff too so didn't want to take any chances. Ranee (MN)

    1. Such days are a rarity! I know what you mean about excess paper. My mom had saved every monthly statement from her stock investments, because they said, "Save for tax purposes." That was a lot of paper, each statement being 4-5 pages.

      We have an Arby's over in Bill-Paying Town, but the Wendy's left many years ago. So I feel about Wendy's how you feel about Arby's. I really miss their burgers and Frostys. Although now I guess they have a problem with E. coli from their lettuce...

    1. I DO think I suck up more than my fair share of luck from The Universe!

  4. Since Hick's been doing such a great job at reselling stuff that rainbow probably ended in his back pocket.

    1. THAT explains it! We usually don't see a rainbow over our house. And Hick WAS at home as I was coming down the driveway.
