wallet woes

I was concerned for a bit that I had lost my wallet. Well, let me rephrase that. I had lost my wallet, and was concerned that I would not find it. It had disappeared sometime on Friday, which was an incredibly busy day for me as I was preparing for the dance concert at our studio. Nine of us had gone out for drinks after the show and that's when I discovered it was missing. Being the person to lock up the building, I spent some time searching for the wallet, but to no avail. I stopped at the grocery store (a store open 24 hours) where I had last used the wallet, but they did not have it.

Yesterday I spent the day preparing for/participating in/cleaning up from a birthday party.

Today I spent quite a bit of time mental running through a checklist of what I was going to have to do if I was not able to find my wallet (I decided that I needed to go back in to the office and search when I wasn't quite so tired). I checked both my credit cards on-line to see if there were any new or unusual charges, but the fact that there weren't didn't mean there wouldn't be.

A friend of mine in Los Angeles (some of you have seen him as a Jeopardy! champion) went through a long process of clearing his name after being the victim of identity theft, so I felt acutely aware of the potential problems I might face.

I had my wife drive me in to work and was extremely pleased to find my wallet in the very first place I looked. What a huge relief!
