For some reason, we still get paper calendars in the mail. We used to give them to Bobbie the Nun \u2014 I\u2019m not sure what she did with them, but she was always excited when we sent them to her. The ones we got for this year, I\u2019ll just recycle \u2014 so if you want one, let me know right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhow, I was looking at the one from the Smithsonian and something caught my eye. I admit I\u2019ve been a little (probably a lot) on the pessimistic side of things lately, but when I looked at the 2025 calendar, I noticed that the first three days of 2025 are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I\u2019ve recently looked for signs in everything and everywhere \u2014 and \u2014 the first sign of 2025 just jumped out. The acronym for the first three days of the year is WTF. The pessimistic me immediately thought this was a bad omen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I certainly had been hoping for a really good year in 2025, but I just had this uneasy feeling. I won\u2019t exactly call it extensive research, but flipping through my phone, it appears that the last time a year started out on a Wednesday was 2020\u2026. we probably all know what 2020 was like\u2026. think COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also noticed that January of 2025 will have 5 Wednesdays, 5 Thursdays and 5 Fridays. I\u2019m pretty sure that doesn\u2019t happen too often. That means that not only will we start out January with the W-T-F but we\u2019ll also finish the month with another W-T-F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, I\u2019m not sure if this W-T-F start is really a bad omen or not. But you might want to dig out that rabbit\u2019s foot or burn some incense just to be on the safe side.
