Lost Wallet

Yesterday I lost my wallet. I went to work, home again. Let the dogs out and ate supper. Got the dogs back inside, kennelled the youngest ones, and left for school. After school I stopped by the grocery store to get milk, eggs, and a few things we needed for lunches this week. I was a little frustrated with the cashier at Kroger. She put a blotch on chubby people's reputation. She didn't put the bags in the grocery buggy like Publix employees do, immediately after she bagged the last item she sat down to read the inquirer, and she let me walk away without my car keys. So I was distracted, I had to put all the bags in the shopping buggy.

I drove home, unloaded the car, put away groceries, let the dogs out, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom with my 15 minute cleaning system, checked email, was about to get ready for bed when I realized I couldn't find my wallet. I searched everywhere, the bathroom, computer room, kitchen, around the leather sofa and chair (I had cleaned those tonight too), in the trash (to be sure it wasn't in a grocery bag that I tossed), and the car. I called Kroger, they didn't have it in lost and found. Because of my previous experience with Kroger, I didn't trust them so I drove to the store. It wasn't there.

I called my husband, he was worried. He even offered to come home from work to help me look, and it being an opportunity for him to work overtime too. I declined, after all, we have to pay for having trees cut down and overtime is important. He was at the computer and looked at my check card records, no one had used it since I did. I had previously checked with Discover, they canceled the card so if anyone tried to use it they would be denied access. Discover is nice, I call back within 90 days and the card is reinstated.

I drove home frustrated and upset. I parked outside the garage, searched the garage, living room, kitchen, bathroom, computer room again. I searched the CR-V one last time, reaching up under the drivers seat, nothing. The passengers seat concealed my wallet. After all this searching, frustration, worry, and panic, I had the wallet all along. Now I just need to call Discover and reinstate my credit card. Today I just need sleep, I didn't get to bed until midnight, waking up at 6:30 for work, ok, so I woke up at 4 when my husband came home . . . .
