We had the joy of the smoke alarm battery notifying us it needed a change in the middle of the night. Perhaps we could have slept through it, but Roli was having none of that. Apparently he associates the chirping of smoke alarms with impending doom, so there was no sleep to be had until I changed the battery.

Is it me, or does it always seem to happen at an inopportune time? That got me wondering. Does it really always happen in the middle of the night or do I forget the times that it happens during the day? Perhaps we should forget about the sleepless night and celebrate the fact that there was no fire.

What do you do to downplay bad luck and focus on your good luck?
