(This is not the comfort food/comfort reading post. That still may happen later.)

So, I'm not having a great day. I was notified that I'm not being considered for a editing contract position I'd been submitted for, my ability to write is apparently hiding from me, and the new issue of Rue Morgue magazine gave the Gothic Charm School book a short, kind of meh-ish review. (The condensed version is apparently the person who reviewed the book thinks that advocating politeness is a sure-fire way to make Goth dull and boring. I, obviously, don't agree, but still feel a bit tender about the review. I like Rue Morgue magazine, dammit, and had hoped they would feel the same way about me.)

So, to cheer myself up a bit, I wandered out into the backyard to pick some blackberries.

And found two 4-leaf clovers.

Dear Universe, let this be a sign. And not one that just means my backyard is full of mutant things.
Over the past month, I have found 5 different 4, 5, or 6 -leafed clovers in my yard. Now, some of you may say that all this means is that we have a mutant strain of clover growing in our neighborhood. But I'm going with the meaning that really good things are going to happen. Because that's a large number of lucky clover found in a short time, even for me.

(A bit of backstory: finding 4-leaf clovers is one of my strange superpowers. I have been out with friends, walking around, when I will stop dead, stare at the ground, and pick up a 4-leaf clover. No, I have no idea how I do it.)
