How painting saved my evening

[jchrisobrien]

Despite having lost my wallet, I had a fairly level head. I wanted to throw something or hit something, but by the time I raised my fist I just lost the impulse. I decided to just fold up my clothes instead of hurling them at something. I called my dad and talked to him a bit, he gave me some encouraging words, but I felt the downward spiral continue. I knew that I needed a distraction. So, I picked up my paintbrushes and decided to do a little detailing work on some Space Marines. The thing is, I couldn't remember which shoulder pad was supposed to get the chapter symbol. I walked back into my room and pulled the Space Marine codex from my bookshelf. Another book I had laid on top of it started to fall out, so I adjusted it.

And saw something move on top of it.

I pulled the book out slowly.

It had an invitation to a cookout on it.

My wallet.

I called the bank, but they had already cancelled my bank card.
The good news is that because they were so prompt, it meant the DMV couldn't process my credit card request to order a new license.
Which means I'm only out five dollars, not the thirty five I would have spent to replace the ATM card, license, and wallet.

Painting is good for you in more ways than one.

I once spent an entire month complaining about how I'd lost my Franklin Planner and oh, my life is so complex that I needed it, and oh, my company will never reimburse me for a new one because I lost the old, and wah wah wah.

Half of this complaining was done at home, sitting at my desk, next to the stereo speaker that the daytimer was resting on. For a month. Right next to me. (They were both black, it blended it.)

Glad you found the wallet! :)

I wandered around my apartment today cursing while trying to find my checkbook. I looked where I remembered it and other places where it could be. I later found it on one of the chairs (it had fallen a foot or so off the table). Well, I/my creditors are/will be happy now.

Congrats!
