[tracilicious]

The new years thread and the tech support thread brought this thought to my mind: New Years day is one of the only things I'm superstitious about. The year we got married I had a terrible New Years day. I lost a few long time friends and betrayal and stress abounded. If it weren't for getting married, I'd call it my worst year ever.

Last New Years day we woke up to find the heater broken. We had horrible landlords and went the rest of winter using space heaters. A nice word for this year is eventful. A better word is harrowing. Baby Jade was born though, making it a good year.

I find myself nervous about this coming New Years day. I'm fearful that if something bad happens then I will have another bad year. Logically I know that isn't true, but the superstition remains.

Am I alone in my irrational superstitions?
