Self-sabotage
Jun. 1st, 2010 02:59 pmSome time over the past day or two, I misplaced half of my keys and half of my wallet. For my keys, I keep the car and home keys on one ring that attaches to a keyring that has all my other keys. I usually don't use the larger ring except when I need to drive JD's car. At one point this weekend, I did have to drive her car. Now I can't find those keys...which also includes the keys for my parents' and in-law's houses and other misc locks.
On occasion, I will remove the ID portion of my wallet and just use it. This is usually done when I don't want the whole lump of a wallet in my back pocket and don't intend to use cash. Saturday night, I tucked the $20 my grandmother gave me for my birthday into the ID fold. I am vaguely confident that I had the ID section with me when I went to work the Cotton Row Run yesterday morning because I somewhat recall peeking at the $20. Upon returning home, I emptied my pockets as quickly as possible at my desk since I was rushing to the bathroom. I recall finding one item in my pockets while getting out of my uniform a few minutes later and kinda recall removing it, but don't know what I removed and where I put it. Although I took a wallet with me to the in-law's yesterday afternoon, I honestly can't say for certain if I took the ID portion or the rest of the wallet with me.
So, thanks to my slipping memory and no luck searching (with help from JD), I have been stuck at home and will probably not be able to vote in the primary today.
I'm grateful that I only lost the ID portion of my wallet (containing: $20, drivers license, debit/ATM card, American Express, gas card, auto insurance card, and health insurance cards). But I'm far from thrilled with the stress of searching for the wallet and the hassle I will endure to get a replacement drivers license.
