Friday the 13th. An unlucky day? A lucky day?
Whatever your belief, you probably at least know that there is some stigma attached to this particular date.
I, personally, believe a lot in creating your own luck, and in karma. Whatever forces that drive our days, it is sure that some days leave you wishing you could crawl back into bed, while others have you hurrying to your local convenience store to buy some lottery tickets.
On this specific Friday the 13th, I seem to be having a lucky day.
As of now, I am the proud holder of my first carte de sejour (the thing I need to continue living and working in France since my visa has expired). Let’s pay no attention to the fact that I need to start the renewal process next week (no joke), and temporarily rejoice at the relative ease with which I have attained this little gem.
Almost as if to congratulate me, I saw this boat of military men and women cheering down the river immediately after receiving my carte de sejour…
Perhaps my luck will run out at some point, but for now, I’m chalking this up as a win. Friday the 13th? My lucky day, indeed (so everyone playing Euromillions can just give up now). 
What other lucky/unlucky charms are there? I want to hear’em all!
My partner asked me to be his girlfriend on a Friday 13th, so it’s our special day! Plus his surname is Baker… 13 is a baker’s dozen!
Congrats on your carte de sejour!
Oh yay! I love it!!! I see from your blog that you’re getting married in December – congrats! Too bad the 13th isn’t on a Friday…
And thank you!!!
you are my hero
Baaaahaha! Likewise, my lovely friend!
