A little concerned about my good luck quota

I have been searching for pants since the beginning of time.

Well okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. But I *have* been searching for a pair of simple, plain, flat front, straight leg, navy blue pants since 1998. I remember I spent most of '98 and '99 mall time trying to find navy blue pants. I also remember it was especially frustrating because, for some reason, I couldn't actually enunciate the phrase "navy blue pants" and kept saying "navy boo plants" which made it really difficult to rant about the lack of navy blue pants without laughing at my apparent speech impediment. I've had a couple pair since then but they were never exactly what I was looking for.

About 3 years ago, I started looking for the perfect pair of simple, plain, flat front, straight leg greay pants. In late October, I found a pair that came sorta close and that I didn't despise, so I bought them. They're not too bad.

Tonight, the search ended. I wasn't even looking for pants. I was looking for a kinda dressy outfit. But, in browsing the store, I saw these greay pants - they are about 2 shades darker than the greay pants I just bought, so I figured that justified trying them on.

They were exactly what I've been looking for the last three years.

Then the sales lady said the words that made the heavens open. "They also come in blue and black."

Could it really be?! After all these years?! The perfect pair of navy blue pants I've been searching for?!

I had her bring them to me. It's like they were taken directly from my dreams!

In one night the perfect pair of greay pants and the perfect pair of navy blue pants fell into my lap when I was least expecting it. It made me wonder. Was this my reward for a really long week at work where everything seemed to go wrong? Was this wish granted in return for patiently waiting all these years? I'd like to believe it's something happy like that. But part of me is worried I'm going to pay for this stroke of luck somehow. We only have so much good luck in this life. From which future event did I just steal some? And will it be worth it?
