It is now time to use the word "concatenation" in a story.
It was Friday. I had had a toothache all week. It was also "that special time of the month". Tia's puppy, Baily, chewed on my only good bra. I had hit the trifecta of bad karma. Danny and I took the train back home. Saturday came. With it the caucus, and ward temple night. After a long and stressful day I was more than ready to go to bed when I discovered that instead of merely chewing a hole in my bra, Baily had managed somehow to destroy the underwire. Due to the concatenation of circumstances, I found myself in the lingerie department of Fred Meyer at 10pm on a Saturday night.

really.
I think that you could write a book called "A Series of Unfortunate Events," or "Debbie and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day."
