I've never been a superstitious person, but I always find amusement on how parinoid some people are. My eldest uncle was born on this day....not exactly, just a friday the 13th. I always found that funny, since he seems very lucky in life.
The reason I bring this up, is that I had a severe misfortune today, and quite a few people have laid blame upon the day.
This morning upon waking ( I was at my mother's house by the way ) I went to take the dogs out. She has two miniature schnousars, neither are large. She also happens to have a white (pointed) picket fence surrounding her porch. Well I was standing there, gazing off into the distance when both Daisy and Joey decided to make a mad dash for something at the side of the house. I was caught unaware and unprepared, and my left arm was jerked in there direction. Thankfully the picket fence was there to cusion the snapping sensation and snag my arm. So I now have three lovely gashes, and assorted scratches and bruises on my left arm. It took some time to get the bleeding to stop, but it did after a while, so it was nice to not have to go to the hospital. For now, I get to sport a lovely gauze wrapping around 1/2 of my arm.

And it is my hope that with a lot of ice, the swelling will go down and the bruises won't look so purple in the morning.
