Blog City Prompt Day 2884 Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th
8:45 AM

Prompt from Blog City:

Friday, the 13th and a Solar Eclipse on Saturday. Are you superstitious? If you think Friday the 13th is scary, try hanging out with me when I've been without coffee.

Did you know Friday the 13th combines two taboos that come from the bible, accord to Stevens. Based on the story of the Last Supper of Jesus, 13 people were seated at the table and it happened on a Thursday. He was arrested that evening, and crucified the next day, on a Friday. "So 13 is associated with that terrible event.

How do you feel about the number 13? Or is it just another day to you?


This is spooky. I wrote an entry on 10/12 and early this morning for Friday the 13th. That should tell you what I think about the number 13. That is the reason hotels do not have a 13th floor. That will tell you why I avoid black cats on the 13th when it falls on a Friday.

But, not to despair. There were only two Friday the 13th days last year and this year. Then two next year 2024 and only one in 2025. Since it doesn't happen often, most years I don't even think about it.

Unless I am a member of WCD. Yep, there are reminders everywhere of today's date. Halloween is another theme that could spook you out with the images conjured up by diary names like Schnujo's Veiled Evil or GrueSom1.

Just a thought. Would the day be totally different if the "12 Days of Christmas" song "13 Days of Christmas?" What would be on the 13th day? My true love gave to me a black cat, 13 black cats, and a partridge in a pear tree.
