2 hrs 30 minutes to go here in South Australia until it is no longer paraskevidekatriaphobia Day.

Will I make it? Fingers crossed!

Good luck to all you out there.

After this one though, you are safe for a while.

I was reaching out on my front deck to feed a breakfast guest (cat) when another guest, a beautiful black cat we've been calling Sabrina, crossed in front of me.

I might need a hug later.

Then I realized Friday the 13th coming on Friday was normal and natural. It's when it comes on the other days of the week you have to watch out for it. (Hat tip to the great Walt Kelly here.)
