Triskaidekaphobia

  2. Sorry to be the one to break the news, but by admitting the term into your life, you may already have brought ruin on your Friday.
    I just hope it doesn’t spread to more generalised Arithmophobia, otherwise Monday the 15th could be a double whammy.
    Stay strong!

  4. I’ll take a bakers dozen on a Friday over any crumby old Monday. Every day of the week.

      1. Any weekday, never a cake walk. But Friday- here- was Show Day. (Official paid holiday.) So that felt like high tea.
