Curse of threes, and "LFP"

Bad things come in threes, right? I don't think I could take more than three.

#1: Megan's sister, the one she's closest too who is a mother of two lovely teenage children, was diagnosed with rapidly-progressive MS. She already is in a wheelchair and has periods in which she can't speak.

#2: One of the children Megan and I mentored in the 4-H program was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer, stage three, at the age of 16. She's already had surgery and several complications, and she starts chemo soon. It was just this past winter that her mother sent me photos of her first formal dance, and I was so amazed that she was growing up so fast! And now she has metastatic cancer and might die. WTF?????????

#3: Megan has been working very hard at her job, and striving to please a passive-aggressive boss who could do nothing but find fault (despite everyone else LOVING her). She came home early today. She was fired. They didn't need a reason, PA is an at-will employment state.

So, let's add to this that there was a (very) faint positive on the HPT this week...what we like to call a LFP instead of BFP. We're not testing again until she misses AF (damn chemicals have scarred us, and we don't want to watch the line disappear...) So NOW she might be pregnant, and has no job, and can't take advantage of FMLA..... WTF again?????????????????? WHY on EARTH is this happening to us?

This is the worst day I've had in a long time.
