I figured today was going to be a bad-luck-sort-of day because the signs and omens were all against me. I forgot to buy dog food yesterday. And I also forgot yogurt for the Princess’s breakfast in the morning. Not only that, the Simon’s Cat game on my phone made me lose the daily challenge three times and the phone ran out of charge before I beat the stupid thing.
Time out for a word from our sponsor;
What’s worse, the first and only thing my wife said to me this morning was, “Michael, stop looking at me with such an angry face!”
I admit I wasn’t smiling. But I was not mad about anything. Should I have been?
“I’m not angry. Are you just saying you think my face is ugly?”
“You said it. I didn’t.”
Yes, the signs and omens were not in my favor today.
What is destined to go wrong?
Car accident on the way to Walmart?
Didn’t happen.
The price of yogurt went up to the point that I could no longer afford it?
Nope, again. But the bill at Walmart had 13 dollars on the front of the price. !!! 13!!! The unluckiest number? I added a candy bar to get the price up to 14 dollars. The candy bar was 88 cents. The total= $13.95. “Oh, no!!! An impending stroke when I carry the dog food into the house!”
Nope. Didn’t happen there either. Is bad karma building up on me for my next teaching job?
Maybe. We find out with 6th graders on Tuesday.
Or maybe I am just fixated on the bad signs and omens too much. If I worry too much about it, I might become George Appleby.
But then again, my wife probably deserves to be covered in toothpaste.
