Friday the 13th? Pshaw!

So this is the day we're supposed to be so a'feared of, eh?  A "bad luck" day, is that it?  HA!  I laugh at such things!  Hear that?  HA!

So what if I woke up at 4 in the morning with a monster headache and in the dark swallowed vitamins instead?  So what if I sat awake for hours waiting for my headache to cease before finally getting it right.  A mere nothing. 

So what if I made the world's most perfect cup of coffee then dropped it in the sink?  HA!  Coincidence, nothing more.

The water I spilled on my computer keyboard?  A mere bag of shells, as The Great One once mis-spoke.  And speaking of mis-speaking, big deal if I said "Corpus Crispy" instead of "Corpus Christi" when referring to a church in our area.  I doubt my sister noticed over the very bad phone connection - another coincidence.  I'm sure all that laughing was just because she was being tickled.  The fact that she was at work for USB means nothing, I tell you.  Rich bankers tickle their employees all the time, don't they?  Of course! 

So WHAT if I deleted ALL my cookies, forgetting I need about a dozen.  An accident, nothing more.  HA!

Now, the piece of paper that flew into my face as I took my daily walk I can't really explain, especially how it just WOULD NOT GET OFF ME!!  (Calm down Cath) N'ertheless?  HA!  Bad luck?  I laugh in your face - hahaha.  ha.....ha.

Is that a clump of my hair that just came off in my hand?  Hmm.  Interesting. 

These glasses, they always worked so well - why can't I see the keyboard clearly?  Odd ....

There's that friend with the SNEEZE for a Buddy Sound!! WHY did she PICK THAT ONE?!?  I've been MEANING to have a word with her - I keep saying "God bless you" it drives me NUTS!!  Okay, deep breath here ... it's only another day, nothing more.  Bad luck, my Aunt Fanny.

Why do people say that?  Does everyone have an Aunt Fanny?  I feel nauseous ... ok, ok.  This is crazy. 

Who said that? 

Did someone call me crazy?  Oh no I just heard a mirror break, I know I did!  Was it mine?  Should I check the place out?  Do I want to KNOW if I'm in for 7 years of....wait a minute, bad luck?  HA!  Again, I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!

MY FACE!  It feels like leather!  What's happening to me, where's the moisterizer?!?

It's only 2:34 P.M., I better just lock the door and climb into bed.  Wait.  My bed.  They say everyone has dustmites in their mattress ... I can always just sit in my favorite chair - yeah!  That's it!  Ok, now I can move my computer over to my easy chair.  Why do they call it that anyway, there's nothing EASY about that chair!  My favorite chair?  I don't HAVE a favorite chair!  What the heck??  I feel even more nauseous ...

Windows is beeping at me.  Morse e-code.  What do they know?  It's a Microsoft conspiracy, I know it.  They can probably see me on the other side of this screen.  Yeah, that's it, that's how they do it.  Should I wave?  I better turn this off.  WAIT!  No, they'll know I turned it off, and hide behind my mirror - my mirror!!  It broke, didn't it?  Wait, I have another one.  Ok, ok, deep breathing, easy does it Cath you'll be fine.  Just another day, nothing to fear, all will be well .... I laugh in your face.  ha...ha...ha. 

I'M NOT OPENING THE DOOR FOR LOVE OR MONEY!!!

Ken had bad luck today. He bent over to move a towel on the scatter rug because Patches is allergic to the rug and pulled his back. Now he is hurting in his tummy and his back. Please don't answer that doorbell. They might be selling more vitamins LOL. Helen

You think you had a bad day. Once again I never ended up the filling in a Minogue sandwich. How unlucky is that?

If I was Howard K Stern or Don Imus, I don't think I'd be thumbing my nose at bad luck. LOL Loved your entry. I didn't even know if was Friday the 13th until I asked my DH what day it was. He said the 14th, I said, No, I think it's the 13th. But it never dawned on me until I read this entry that it was Friday. LOL I'm sitting here on the couch. Not moving till midnight. Not that I believe any of that nonsense. LOL
Hugs, Barb

CAthy, Yes, my computer makes all sorts of noises, LIke I have been told it's my buddies making noises part of their sign on. Don't know if I believe it.  But I am NOT the ONLY one who hears all these sounds. From Dogs barking to Elvis singing, kissses sounds to you name it.  It's CRAZY!  And moisturizer?  Hey, I know the need for that.  OH help!
aND WHAT ABOUT THE FACIAL WRINKLES?

And HOW in the WORLD did myname get sent to a "SINGLE "GET TO KNOW YOU" SITE??

Where do you live, are you in the US.  I am almost  always up with insomnia--I should call you on my free time with my cell phone  (REALLY) sometime..

Yes, I bellive it in bad luck on Friday the 13, & so know I know why everything has been going wrong for me today.

Thank you Cathy  for explaining the "problem" to me....tomorrow has to be better.  Doesn't it?  LOL  Hang in there!
Love ya,
Merry

Cathy 2 Merry:  Yes friend, everyone choses a "sound" or at least should make use of that option, so people will hear more than a door opening and closing when they come online.  Just another extra from our friends at AOL.  I'll email ya.  xoxo

I dont particularly like Friday the 13th for a number of reasons.  Today I had to see my lawyer after not seeing him for 3 years though that in itself was a bad omen  having to see him on the 13th and a Friday.  I was imagining all kinds of dreaded things going there and coming home and bad news.  It turned out great much accomplished and got home safe.  Today was quite good for me.  The fear we instill in ourselves sometimes makes things worse.

Pretty good for a Friday the 13th day.  Quite inventive.  Reminds me of when I went to use the keyboard of my trusty Hermes typewriter and all the keys were sticky, but not one kid in the house owned up to knowing anything about it. It was very mysterious.  Finally had to buy a new Hermes since the keys moved like molasses.  The kids would have had me believe they transformed themselves.  It must have been Friday the 13Th!   Gerry
