Lost & Found

It's amazing how much of our lives are kept in our wallets.

I lost mine today. Yeah....that sucks ass. There's no better way to describe the feeling then "sucking ass", really. I've never really actually sucked ass....but I can imagine it to be just about as terrible as losing a wallet.

I ran some chores to the bank and somewhere between heading to the bank and walking across the street to my other business bank, I find I don't have it. It's not in my car, it hasn't been turned in to the bank, it's not on the road around and up to my car.

I've already done the rounds of reporting my cards lost...so I'm safe with the 2 credit cards I have in there and my ATM card.

But the stuff in there is still personal...I have my 7 year old driver's license. The one that registers me as a blond because the city worker saw my bleached hair at the time. She insisted that I had to register as a blond even though I told her my natural hair color was black. DUH. What if I had walked in with blue hair?

What sucks about that is that it's the old Hawaii license that uses my Social Security number as the ID. In this day and age people can do real damage with a SS#. I'll have to put alerts on my credit reports I think.

My Costco card, grocery card, a cingular debit card with some measly amount I can't get spend anywhere....and damnit, I was so close to completing my stamps for a free Graces plate lunch!!

What bugs me most is that the wallet itself had sentimental value because my sister got it for me. AND inside I had a cute photo of Florence. The cards & money I can replace.

So here I am....no cash to spend tonight for lunch & dinner, no driver's license to drive out and grab something. The City office said I can use my Costco card as an ID to get a new driver's license.... isn't that ironic? Don't you think? "The card was IN my wallet too beeeeatch!!"

Well....such is life. Bound to be bad days mixed in with the good. Bright side is that I can finally update that driver's license photo.
