Friends, Recollians, countrymen, lend me your ears: Beware the ides of march! In other words, today, the 15th of May. :) Today is the anniversary of the day the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated by 23 of his colleagues. Really, though, it was Shakespeare that popularized phrases like "Et tu, Brute?", "Beware the Ides of March", and even the phrase "That's Greek to me".
Honestly, I'm a little superstitious, so I don't like to do anything too risky on the 15th. More than a few bad things have happened on this day in history, and in my own life.. when I was a little girl, I actually fell into the well behind my daddy's stable. It was raining harder than I'd ever seen and I was trying to make my way home. I was stuck for an hour or so. I swear I cried harder than the rain fell.
Do any of y'all have any sorts of superstitions like this? Or you can tell me how your day was today, I don't mind. Linking any Ides of March memes would be fun, too. :) 💕
