Day 40
Today, I defied superstition. My task was to engage in various activities that those who are superstitious would tend to avoid, such as walking under a ladder, opening an umbrella indoors, or breaking a mirror. I am not a very superstitious person and I try to defy any superstitions I do have on a daily basis. Today was difficult simply because I found very few opportunities to do this. There were no ladders to walk under, breaking a mirror could get me suspended, and, though it was raining, I could not for the life of me find anyone with an umbrella. While Aaron managed to locate a black cat, the only opportunities I had for defying superstition were to spill salt without throwing it over my left shoulder (which, I'll admit, hurt a little- I think it was the first superstition I learned), and to whistle indoors (which I didn't know was associated with superstition until today). Nothing bad has happened to me yet- we'll just have to wait and see.
I decided to help you out a bit, and opened an umbrella inside. It's still open, shading my head as I write. Nothing has happened YET........ G.
