How was your Friday the Thirteenth yesterday?

Tweet

My started out strange and ended horribly. At 9:30 in the morning my telephone rang three times, but when I picked it up and listened, no one was there. I checked the caller ID and my friend, Pam, who lives in Florida but is now visiting her children in Seattle, had called from her home not theirs. I immediately called back, but there was no answer. I began to panic, for you see, the day after Pam arrived in Seattle, she had a major heart attack and ended up getting a pace maker put in. The first one didn't work well, so the doctors had to put in another. When I got no answer to my return call, I imagined her laying on the floor unable to get the telephone. I am now in Pennsylvania, so I called our other friend, Mandy and asked her to check on Pam. PAM WAS NOT AT HOME - SHE WAS STILL IN OREGON. So, why did her number appear on my telephone. I went back to my caller ID and her number did not appear in all of the calls listed! Mandy and I kept calling Pam in Oregon all day to find out if she was okay and we finally reached her in the early evening. At the time her number appeared on my telephone, her Chihuahua, which is a character in a book I'm writing and the boy friend of Mandy's cute poodle, was throwing up blood. She was rushing him to the emergency vet. Turned out she had to have him put down. He was eaten up with cancer and it had not been detected by the vets earlier. The telephone call that came in but was never made was only the beginning. Next I needed to get groceries so I checked my online bank account. Imagine my surprise when a notification from FDIC came up instead of my bank announcing my bank had been closed that day!!! The FDIC took it over and assigned its accounts to Iberia Bank in Louisiana. That was the last straw. I climbed into bed and waited out the rest of Friday, the Thirteenth. Sometimes, you just have to keep from asking "What else can happen?" The answers are not always nice. How was your Friday the Thirteenth? Did anything weird happen?
