I totally forgot that it was Friday the 13th yesterday! I was so loaded with work that it really was the last thing that could get to my mind! ... until late at night when most programmes on tv were based on myths, mysteries, hauntings, etc....!
Thinking of it, yesterday was one of those days that could be called "bad" days when everything turns out wrong! First of all, having so much work to do I was already bugged by the fact that, from all of the days, my children had only two hours at school instead of their normal hours due to a teachers' meeting! Second, my five-year-old son walked over a dog's poop without me noticing it, first thing in the morning ... I only noticed it when he had a row with his younger sister and smudged it all over her school's raincoat just in front of school! Fortunately enough I always have wipes at hand and other things for such emergencies in my handbag! Third, after an exhausting day, my parents-in-law came to our house and they literally said and done things the opposite of how I wish to educate my children (please note that I have nothing against my parents-in-law but they are one of those couples who do not aid because they do not want to and they literally do nothing all the day, but then, they always say things like they are the only ones that know everything!). Fourth, my daughter developed a fever just in the evening and wet her bed, a thing that she haven't done for more than a year! Can I list these things under "Bad Luck"?

Me, too...today was pretty uneventful...I did manage to get out for dinner tonight after being shut into my house for three days (for those of you who don't know, I'm in Virginia, where the Nor'easter hit and stayed...and stayed...and stayed...rain, wind and flooding all over the place...but I was unaffected, luckily)... |

I live in northern Virginia. We didn't get the noreastern (formerly known as Hurricane Ida) as badly as the coast, but we got four days of rain.
I spent Friday praying my son's flag football playoffs schedued for today would be postponed. No such luck. He had a game scheduled for 8 AM. It was still drizzling and the field had inches of standing water all over it and it was about 53 degrees F. I can't believe they held the games.
On the bright side, Alex's team won and although everyone was soaked, muddy and cold, no one got hurt. They played again at 11, the field was even worse after 2 other games and they lost, but again, no one was hurt.

I saw a picture of one .... my friend was making posters of her missing cat.
Besides, didn't you know Ebony, black cats are lucky.  |

CD, I hope your friend finds her cat and tell her not to give up.
We lost our gold retriever while bear hunting when I was in college in central West Virginia. Yeah, I used to be into hunting when sitting out in a cold, wet field or forest didn't bother me. We had friends who trained dogs to hunt bear, cougars, bobcats, etc, so we used to go with them. They trained our black lab and gold retriever.
We looked for months and advertised in the papers in that area, etc. We'd never had an indentification on him. Hadn't even thought about it.
Out of the blue while in the area the following year, we came across another group of hunters. The gold retriever they had with them took one look at us and made a beeline for us. It was our dog - we could tell because he had a weird birth mark on his pink nose.
The other hunters told us they had found him with a cut paw and took care of him but were unable to find his owners. Guess they never saw our advertisements in the papers.
So we got him back but never took him hunting again. No reason to tempt fate.
And for the record, I never shot any of those animals. Now I'm not even sure why I used to go.

Sorry to hear about your dog, I know I would be very sad to loose my dog, but I am glad you found him and returned him even a year later.
