I told my husband what had happened, and he could not help but laugh
I continually have to remind my husband that I am not a pessimist, I am just a realist. He does not believe me, but I do not think that I am a pessimist. I do look at the negative side of things, but I also look at the positive side of things. I think he thinks that I am a pessimist simply because I have the worst luck in the world. If something can go wrong, it will in my life. The perfect example of this happened to me last month when I took a road trip all by myself. I hate traveling alone, but I did not have a choice this time, so I was trying to make the best of it. My van broke down four hours into the trip, and I had to spend a day at a mechanics. During my stay, I thought that nothing could possibly be worse than the trip up, but I was wrong. The third night, the air conditioning in the room that I was staying in stopped working. I told the family that I was staying with what was going on, and they apologized for the inconvenience. They tried to figure out what was wrong, but they could not. They gave me a fan in place of air conditioning, and goodbye went every night’s sleep after that. I am a relatively large person, and I get hot very easily, so not having air conditioning in the middle of August was miserable. I may have slept a total of four hours in the remaining three nights that I stayed there. I told my husband what had happened, and he could not help but laugh. I do not know why unlucky things always happen to me, but they do.
