I have had a weird Wednesday. I was trying to do freelance work before my dentist, and my Internet went out ( and still is). So I then got a surprise call to take care of the elders, . After all of that, I decided that it was a sign to take a break from job searches and freelance until tomorrow. Have you ever had weird signs that just just told you to take a break?

You know what's weird? My internet was out most of the day on Tuesday. Do you happen to have ATT? LOL! I don't know if I've ever received direct signs to take a break but I have absolutely interpreted things as signs in order to talk myself into taking a break.

No I have optimum. Turns out they cut my line (and waited until 2p today) because they got feedback from my line that could "mess up" other customers lines. I was mad, but I just used my daughters internet today and let them fix it.

I was supposed to drive a long distance to be a plus-one guest at a wedding last weekend. When I went out to my car, I saw that I had a flat tire (dang nail!) Then I saw that one of my windshield wiper blades was missing (vandalism?) As I stood there, angry and worried about the time, it suddenly started pouring rain. That was the end of my plans. I canceled my trip and stayed home, safe and warm. I took it as an omen that I wasn't supposed to be driving that day. I'm glad I didn't. When the universe sends you messages, listen up 👍🏻

Oh my that was a sign, but sorry you missed the wedding.

I tend to be a little superstitious and I pay attention to omens. I mean, I'll joke about it, and say something is a good or bad omen. There are times, however, when something will happen and I'll take it as an omen and avoid something else. It usually turns out to be a good decision.

I forgot to add, that once I got out of my elderly parents house, my shoe string got caught in their wheelchair ramp. I tripped and now my left arm is a bit messed up (again), and I am very sore. I guess that was another sign.
