Did We Skip a Month?

I'm a creature of habit. I think most of us are. I woke this morning even wondering about going to the pool. Of course I did. I'm a creature of habit.
However, after getting up, and turning on my computer, pulling up the new Bible Study, and deciding to let it wait as I needed to do some research on it, I went to try to watch the weather, also something I do every morning. It helps to know what to expect when I step outside my door.
My TV wouldn't come on, not on Cable, controlled by my Internet. I decided I would get the weather on the station's website. No can do. I had that darn yellow triangle on my Internet icon.
I rebooted. No help. I pulled the power plug on the modem. No help. I unplugged it again, waited, and plugged it back in. Looked at my watch and hoped it would be working when I got home from the pool as it was time to leave.
So, I'm wondering if we're having March Fool's Day instead of April Fool's Day, or did we completely skip the month of March?
Anyway, I was happy to find all the lights lit up on my modem when I got home.
Then I'm working on my Daily Bible Study after reading the commentary articles about Joel chapter 1, and got a handle on what it was about so I could move forward. I was almost finished with it when I got a phone call from my oldest. And went into shock. Then I prayed against whatever foolishness Satan is doing in my life as my oldest decided to disown me, called me some abusive words, and hung up.
Again, I thought we had skipped March and we were on April Fool's Day. I went to FB left a message on my youngest son's message board letting me know I had no idea what I did, but his brother had disowned me. He later called me, we talked, and I told him I would be over Saturday morning to do laundry. He doesn't have anything to do with his brother on a good day, and told me not to worry about it.
I'm not. I'm just wondering what the heck happened to March? Or are we having April Fool's Day a month early?
I'm happy to say my Internet is working. I haven't checked my TV but I expect that is too, since my phone is also working, which also wasn't before I left for the pool.
I hope that is the end of any weird pranks and the rest of my day will go okay. I have no plans, except to work again on Thread of Evidence once again. I left it sit for a month. Time's up. and Time to work on it again to get it further along the publishing trail.
Have you had anything weird happen to you today? Thanks for reading.

All is fine here today but it does sound like your day started as April Fools. Hope the rest of your day goes well

Nothing weird happened to me today. All I can say is that you should try not to read meanings into dates. The fact that all these happened to you on March 1 doesn't have any metaphysical or spiritual meaning. Some days are just downright dark days while on some days the sun shines extra bright. My love to your youngest son.

The cell phones are not working correctly now and the Internet was out this morning. There is always something to get in the way of doing what you think you will do!

Glad the internet and phone are working again, and hope the day got better for you.

Oh dear. I know I have had to call my internet provider several times and have them "fix" the internet on their end. It's weird, but seems to happen every few months. Hope it stays working.
Aw I'm sorry to hear your older son is being that way. Please don't take it wrong - but does he have some mental health issues? Or substances? It just doesn't seem a rational way to act. Sorry again if that wasn't right of me to ask - and you certainly don't need to say.
Well I'm happy that younger son seems unbothered by it all.
Do something nice for yourself today.... you need a treat after the weirdness.,

I treated myself to the remainder of the cookies I made yesterday. I think he was on something. Certainly sounded like it. I'll no doubt get a call sometime this month apologizing, or maybe not. We'll see.
I couldn't call my provider because I didn't have a phone to call them on. So just hoped it would be working when I got home from the pool and was glad it was.

@just4him Ah, well, unfortunately - it sounds like there may be a reason for his behavior. I hope he comes to his senses.
Oh, yeah, duh, that makes sense if your phone was out, too

My internet has been touchy today, but it is due to the winds.

April showers bring May flowers. Good one. Normally we don't get a lot of rain in March, but with the kind of winter we've been having, anything is possible. Normally it's snow. We've got a three day snow storm coming our way next week.
