Om mani padme hum. <p>Well the bad luck of Friday the 13th started a day early this year. On Thursday the 12th (of <em>October</em>!), it snowed. This is the earliest snowfall Michigan has seen in somewhere around the last 125 years. I like snow&#8230;but not until the end of November, and only until the middle of January. Any sooner or later then that and I&#8217;ll probably not be too thrilled. Luckily, I live in Michigan where the temperature goes from 30 degrees to 60 in a weekend. So you can be sure that come Monday, I&#8217;ll be wearing a t-shirt and enjoying the sun.</p> <p>Aside from the Friday the 13th induced bad weather, I&#8217;ve discovered that both of my cats have fleas. And, Gibby has a hole poked into her abdomen. So they&#8217;re both on flea medications, and I get to vacuum all the carpets and furniture, and wash all of the sheets and blankets, and spray to kill all the eggs. And, I have to give Gibby antibiotics and keep her from licking her wound. If she keeps licking it &#8211; we have to buy her one of those white plastic shields that go around the head. She&#8217;d love that.</p> <p>I can only assume that this bad luck will continue through tomorrow, I will keep you all updated.</p> <p>Maybe since the Spartans are already having a horrible season, the bad luck of Friday the 13th will have a reverse effect and we&#8217;ll beat #1 Ohio State&#8230; I could also be dreaming.</p> Fri, 13 Oct 2006 14:13:53 -0400 urn:uuid:f7d16b34-8bfb-4991-ad80-9a98b04ae6df Jewls http://jewlofthelotus.com/articles/2006/10/13/friday-the-13th General http://jewlofthelotus.com/articles/trackback/116
