Mostly bad

Good: We live down a long driveway which we share with three other houses. It's lovely being that far back from a very busy road because it's relatively quiet and peaceful in the trees and the cats are safe.

Bad: The driveway has huge potholes. And the people we all booked to reseal it at some point during the last three sunny and dry weeks didn't.

Good: They showed up this week.

Bad: When it was raining.

Worse: And promptly cut into the neighbours' water main.

Bad: The foreman was ill yesterday so they didn't work.

Worrying: We have to park on a very busy road for several days, or down the hill in a quiet cul-de-sac and walk up an alleyway in the dark which I'm not prepared to do.

Good: A friend from Australia is coming to stay at the end of next week.

Bad: She's bringing her two little girls which is scaring the hell out of me.

Also bad: The taps in the guest bathroom don't work properly. You have to make 3 or 4 complete turns, then the bastards gush on so hard, water goes everywhere.

Good: I found a local plumber who said he can come tomorrow.

Bad: He can't, because our driveway is up.

I'm not even going to tell you about the crap new system management forced IT to put in at work. Sigh. I want something to go right.

Yeah, I'd probably laugh if I wasn't so stressed out about it. Hey, if it all comes together, I can amuse my friend with it. We make a point of telling each other excruciating disaster stories like the time she got sick in the Sydney Opera House after some dodgy seafood and couldn't make it to the end of the line and vomited in her purse. Than she closed it and forgot till she opened it to pay the taxi driver...

Oh LORD! Yeah, that's definately one of those "look back and laugh, but HORRIBLE at the time" things.
