Worst day of the year

Well if today's the worst day, imagine the best one!

Friede and I live by a different calendar which we created ourselves. it has 13 months of 28 days each. since 13*28 equals 364 only, we have an additional New Y>ear's day at the beginning of our year, which is not assigned to any month or week, and in leap years a leap day, which immediately follows after New Year's day and also belongs to no week or month. this has a lot of advantages: no matter what year it is, a certain date will ALWAYS fall on the same week day. what's more: the first of all months falls on the same weekday. the calendar also has a more logical start; it begins with the spring equinox (which in this year falls on March 20th, according to the Gregorian calendar). I always felt a year should resemble a life with winter being old age; thus it never made sense to me that winter drags along throughout the first months of the new year. our months have all been named after Greek Goddesses. for the weekdays we used the name of the 7 Pleiades. anyone who would like to know more about our calendar (for example conversion tables) is welcome to send either Friede or me a private message.
the calendar is part of our religion (Friede and I are High Priestesses of a small religious group that worships Gaia, the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth). consequently we celebrate other feasts than Easter or Xmas; however, the kids don't have to go without "Xmas presents", in a way, because we celebrate the solstices and equinoxes, and the winter solstice is very close to Xmas.
as to worst day of the year: I would name 4. the days after our big feasts (the solstice and equinoxes) are usually filled with headaches and nausea for us. not because of too much booze, by the way

Today is not a great day for me. I 'celebrate' 39 years on this miserable planet.

Best day for me; any day when the sun is shining and it's warm. Any day when I dont look out of the window into what looks like a nuclear bloody winter. Maybe I have SAD..

Actually it might just be a hangover...
