going right or wrong

Would you say it is natural to say 'Everything is going wrong today. Not one thing is going right. '?

Everything is going wrong today. Not one thing is going right. I lose my keys. I miss the bus. I forget my homework.

Mister Micawber, I am confused here. Could you help me here please?

In the sentence, "Everything is going wrong today. Not one thing is going right. I lose my keys. I miss the bus. I forget my homework.", the events 'losing the keys', 'missing the bus', and 'forgetting my homework', have already happened/taken place, haven't they?

The use of the present simple seems OK to me in this context. I'd say it creates a sense of immediacy and drama.
