Today is Friday the 13th. Anything bad happen to you?

Nope, for an Aries it's considered a lucky day

That's true Elphaba! I am an Aries, and it's always been a lucky day for me.

Papa broke a mirror, oh wait he does that every day with his ugliness.

There were some children being loud outside my window. For about two minutes, and now they're gone. ^_^

Also, I ran out of the really good pizza we had in the freezer. That's very sad.

And it's my dad's birthday.

no, but i'm putting off meeting with the guy in the hockey mask - and his mom - outside my office until at least after lunch.

Nothing but.

From my post on the "adults" thread -

"I left for work this morning with a headache, which turned into migraine status about halfway to Rosslyn. In fact, I had to get off the train and run to the 'facilities' and get sick. I got back on the train, transferred to the Blue line in Rosslyn, rode it to the end of the line without incident. Then as I exited the train, I tripped on something and went flying. The people rushing to get on that train nearly ran me over. I got myself back together and was on my way to work when my newly-pulled shoulder started throbbing. Despite the hurting I had to laugh when I realized what date it was! Then I saw that all the bosses would be out today and that started me feeling better"

So far not yet. I'm almost afraid to leave the house. LOL! But I think I will eventually.

Earlier today a homeless man offered me condolences. I still don't know who's dead.

Today has been odd. 57 years ago today one set of my grandparents died in an auto accident. I never knew them.

And now I am going through the "what do we do with our elderly parents" situation, made much worse today by my dads insane calls to me, my Aunt, and several others.

We may have to take charge legally, which I do not want to do.

I heard my father cry today for the first time in my life. I was not prepared for that. He is totally losing it.

So maybe today was not good for this Aries.

I'm so sorry, Elphaba. There's so many things happening right now that are not boding well for today. Your troubles (that so many here are facing with their parents now), the horrible floods, Tim Russert's death, and on and on. It's not a good day.

I should have stayed in the house today. Traffic was bad in town, due to paving projects. I mean, I got through, but it was just odd to see cars backed up in two areas. One actually practically blocked a parking lot I needed to go into.

And a nice, but odd gesture happened today too. My grandma, who is sort of weird, sent me a birthday card in the mail, with a check, and a note. I am going to send her a thank you note of course, because she did not have to do this at all.

It was just an odd gesture because she stopped doing stuff like this years ago, and she became sort of nasty. What was also odd about this, is my birthday is not until next Saturday. I mean, maybe she just wanted to get it sent out early, who knows. But on everything, she had my name spelled wrong. First time she has ever done it too.

And the note she wrote how she could picture me doing stuff still. Like in my dance recital and marching band. However, she has never seen me in marching band ever. Oh well, I'll just let her believe what she wants to believe.

Yep. 2 bad things. Had to put up with stupid people who suck at their job, then had a disastrous audition. Nice weather, horrible day.

You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday.

Oh, I couldn't let them open this place again, could I? Not
after what happened. Oh, my sweet, innocent Jason. My only child, Jason. You let him drown; you never payed any attention!

What you did to him... Look what you did to him!

I found out that we are ridiculously broke and unless a miracle happens things aren't going to be going so well as I am unemployed. I am trying to find a new teaching position, but nothing is panning out. I know I have time, but I am literally sick over this.

We have had money issues before, but we've been ok because we just had to worry about ourselves and now I'm freaking out because its not just us anymore, its our son too.

Oh well, things will hopefully work out, they usually do...I just hope that trend continues.

I'm so sorry sweetie. Can you handle doing some tutoring from home for a while?

[iflitifloat]

It was a disaster from beginning to end. And I'm NOT even superstitious.

I had a horrible, unfocused rehearsal in which my cast apparently decided they're too good to be doing this particular show and they started giggling through (serious) songs, dropping out of character, upstaging their costars, and generally treating the whole thing like a big, contemptible joke. They're not too proud to keep taking the money, however...

This morning I had my sister knocking on my door for about thirty minutes (after I just woken up, no less) and she told me after about 25 minutes of knocking that she just needed my computer, which she neglected to tell me earlier. Not that this compares to some of your situations, but it was a crappy way to begin the day.

I had a shocking day at work. It was one of my worst.

My friend saw a ghost today...apparently. In a theatre.

I just noticed something annoying from the check my grandma sent me. It is dated my birthday of course, so I cannot do anything with it until next Saturday. I just don't like having things like that sitting around for a week or more. That's all. Thankfully it isn't a huge amount of money.

be happy you have a grandmother. My mothers parents died in a car crash 57 years ago yesterday...I never knew them.
My fathers parents split before I was born, and his mother died when I was two....his father was never seen again....

Kel, sorry to hear about the money woes. These things will only make you stronger. Something will come up.....
