I'm reading a book that talks a lot about omens. Now everything seems to be one. A dead hedgehog beside the road. (Heck I've never even seen a live one! Have you?) One of the two wall lights in my new, dungeon-lit room in the basement blowing out when I flip the switch. Locking myself out of the house ten minutes before a haircut appointment, then realizing I'd locked myself off my bike as well, and would have to travel the kilometer by foot, and afterwards find something to do outside until Startlodge people come back from work. Bumming around in our garden and finding a four leaf clover. Thinking wow, and then noticing the five leaf clover right next to it. The rest only 3 leafers. Freakish.
But what does it all mean? Probably what I already knew: that I need to get out of my room more often.
Still, the hedgehog needs explaining. Maybe he's the key to everything.
