So, how is your day going so far. Did you even realize that it was Friday the 13th? Have to admit that it kind of creeps me out. I guess it all comes down to if you are superstitious or not. Me... I think that I inherited the trait from my grandmother. I think that she was most superstitious when it came to her wedding band. Every morning, she would stare at it. It would dictate what kind of day lay ahead for her. So, I came by it naturally. And that was just one of the superstitions she believed in...
My mother oddly enough didn't believe in bad things happening on the day at all. She was born on the 13th ... which alone would have made me nervous. But enough about me... tell me how your day is going and whether or not you believe !!

I never seem to get it all done, but I did get my work hours in.

@Hate2Iron I made do without, I just improvised. Our dishwasher on the other hand might not like it, though.

I think that I mentioned in my post that my grandmother was as well! I wish that I had brought the topic up when she was alive. Mom was the one who told me all the family stories!!

@Hate2Iron it's funny that both our grandmother's were superstitious but not our moms.

Oh I knew, every person I spoke to reminded me. I was glad to go home and be alone.

I don't believe that Friday the 13th is any different than any other day.
It's going to get hot today so I ran to go get things for sandwiches. I won't cook inside and I've grilled the past few nights.
Edging near 90 degrees and it's not even noon.

@Vikingswest1, me too I didn't give importance of the date 13th of Friday, I attended whole day webinar and zoom meeting, but I cried yesterday so suddenly work related issue. I don't know if there's a relationship of that date and day of the month of my woes.

@cacay1
It's hard for me to say not knowing if there have been unusual events on previous Friday the 13th for you.
I just don't believe that any one day is unluckier than the rest lol.

@Vikingswest1 That is probably very true. I have this tendency to go looking for things!

I didn't realize it was the 13th of Friday yesterday for I was attending a whole day webinar, but frankly, my tears fell nonstop yesterday. It might be a coincidence that it happened on a 13th of Friday. I'm not a crying human, but yesterday I cried silently after I saw my teaching load deducted to favor it to a new comer cousin of my program head though for me not qualified for he's major isn't mathematics. I'm handling Mathematics and Physics in the university. I supposed to have 7 subjects extra load and now only 7 and 3 subjects still zero population. Where's justice on the 13th of Friday? Good or bad luck may happen in any day, but yesterday two reasons made me cry. I won't anymore elaborate the other one, it's too long discussion now

I'm sending you lots and lots of hugs!! I can understand how upset you must have been... If it's any help, I had a few tears shed yesterday as well.
