Are you superstitious? I am… and the worse part is I know that it doesn’t make any sense too, and I just perpetuate the belief by relating random lucky and unlucky things to whatever thing I’m superstitious about. I think humans have an amazing ability to relate events that have no significance together – it’s all part of survival on some level I suppose, but it leads to a lot of crazy beliefs!

So anyways, today on cardiology we had a room that was very unlucky – both of the patients in it were sent up to the ICU due to their deteriorating condition. Their room had the number 13 in it… which I have the firm belief is very unlucky. See, not only is 13 generally known as an unlucky number but it is odd and prime which further makes it more unlucky in my book. (Numbers that are divisible by 2 and 3 are extremely lucky in my book, especially those that are squares too, like 36)

Then today, I saw some flurries. I believe the first snow is very magical and I have been a little worried (now you see what I mean about crazy beliefs) that I was going to miss it being in Hawaii. Luckily, I saw some flurries today which is stretching it but I’m going to take what I can get. I also saw a short little rainbow soon after, and rainbows are very lucky and a sign of a change in luck. I don’t think I’ve had any kind of bad luck recently but hopefully the next couple of days which are lots of traveling will go smoothly. ;)
