My point of view on this... EVERYTHING comes in three's... but if you have read any of my posts about the brains pattern-matching instinct, this is because we LOOK for patterns of three everywhere. And when we think we've found one our brain goes seeking for more examples as proof and it finds them everywhere. You may be convinced as all get out that things are occuring in threes, give plenty of examples, and I guarantee that if you were to chart them all mathematically you would see that mathmatically there is absolutely NO correlation, no groupings at all. Even presented with that data our brains often refuse to believe it because the "evidence" of those patterns exist very strongly in our minds.

The importance of this is that the way it works is that three things happen, and we look back and our minds say "aha! there's the pattern again" but that is far different from any physical reality that since "two" things have occured, that a third one is in the wings. It is not. Please take my word for that and don't worry about it .

I am hoping that the "third" thing turns out to be a good one, that you discover that you are covered under warranty which would make this a minor hiccup. There must be so much stress not having a home, I really feel for you and hope things work out. When this is said and done, try to plant it in your brain as being the completion to this set so that unconsciously you are not "waiting for the third shoe to drop". . Because one thing also that I know is that if you are really expecting something to happen, it will happen. The world is what we make of it.

Best wishes
