Today is Friday the 13th, and as a rule, I'm not a believer in the woo-woo. I don't think breaking a mirror is bad luck. I don't think if I step on a crack I'll break my mother's back, and I have never thrown salt over my shoulder. However, Friday the 13th makes me hinky. On a good day, there are a lot of bad things that happen in my life. Not hugely bad. I've never sailed on a sinking ship. Never had the air masks drop down on a plane, but it's the little things that really seem to pile up. Yesterday, my to-do list was about twelve things. By the end of the day, twelve had turned into twenty-four, the mySQL server on a website that I run was down (not my fault), and I was having a melt-down.
And it was only Thursday the 12th. It's very difficult for an optimistic person like myself not to turn pessimistic. On a side note, we bought "The Pessimist" cabernet last week and it was really good! But back to the slog of life, I'm nervous about today. I'm thinking, it CAN get worse than yesterday. So maybe I'll be wearing my rabbit's foot, my imitation four-leaf-clover and maybe I won't be walking under any ladders today, either.
What about y'all? Favorite Superstitions or good luck rituals? Anybody nervous today?
