A Disturbing Pattern

qosTomorrow Wolfling and I are leaving for our first big trip since our Disneyland adventure three years ago. It's not quite as big a deal, being only an overnight trip to a resort that's only two hours or so away, but it's something she's been wanting to do for a very long time, and I'm taking off work so we can make a special date of it.
Tonight was supposed to be dedicated to packing. (Among other things, my darling daughter can't find her swimsuit. This is Not Good since we're going to a big indoor water park.)
Instead, we spent the evening at the hospital, visiting a dear friend of hers who has been there for several days due to internal bleeding in his colon. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to be serious, since they caught it -- but it could have been life-threatening.
We were getting ready to leave the house when it suddenly occurred to me: the last time we went on a vacation adventure we also ended up spending time at the hospital. I mentioned this to Wolfling and her eyes got wide and she half-laughed half-choked, then said, We really should thank C for diverting the curse from us! And then she pointed out that both illnesses were gastro-intestinal.
We did not, of course, mention this to her friend. . . .
I'm thinking that perhaps the next time we prepare to take a special trip, we should start performing banishing rituals well in advance. . .
ETA: Wolfling just came downstairs. She told me she found her swimsuit -- about ten seconds after putting Sobe (her favorite beverage) in the cup on her personal altar.
Yep, we've got fairies.
