I'm not at all superstitious, so today was just another day to me. But it's a bad year for people who suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia — the fear of Friday the 13th. Why? There are three this year, instead of the usual two. There was one in 2011.
That's not all. For the first time since 1984, those three Friday the 13ths — Jan. 13, April 13 and July 13 — are exactly 13 weeks apart. Three Friday the 13ths happen every few years. The last was in 2009, and the next is 2015. What's special about 2012 — and what won't occur again until 2040 — is that this is happening during a leap year.
On another note, I am sooooo glad I have a 3-day weekend too! Went to the gym this morning, took it fairly easy so my leg wouldn't flare up, but I did break a sweat! I don't remember if I did 20 minutes or 30 minutes on the elliptical, which strikes me as funny. I usually have every single second seared into my brain.
