When you go away for work for the weekend and leave your wallet at home!!!!
Yep, that is what I did yesterday. Left around 11 and was in my car thinking, "I really feel like I'm forgetting something. But no...I have my glasses and my phone charger and my instrument."
Just didn't have my freaking wallet!!! No ID, no cash, no credit cards!!!
I felt oddly vulnerable without it. It's really scarry knowing that I couldn't even put together enough money to buy a cup of coffee if I wanted. Let alone buy gas or food. I have a whole different level of understanding for the poor or homeless. It was incredibly demoralizing. And even when friends and colleauges would offer me money or buy me dinner, just because they are good friends and I'd do the same for them, it felt very shameful. And I only had to deal with this for 12 hours...
Anyway, I have the best parents ever and they send me $$ over night, so now at least I can buy gas and eat. I just can't get pulled over on my drive home. :)
In other news, I've gotten started on my first KISH story!!! So excited! :) And I've been loving all the Gale pics and news that has been posted in the past few days. I hadn't been commenting much cause RL has been insane, but he looks so amazing and I'm glad Orpheus Decending is getting good reviews. :) YAY life after QAF!!!!
