Thrice lost.... and thrice found....

 The wind howls under the front door tonight. The silver moon rides high and the clouds scud rapidly past. The sky has an eerie glow tonight. It's been a weird and magical day.

On the way to the office this morning, I made note of the 'watery sunlight'. A favourite description. In fact in the 10 minutes from the time it hit my car until I pulled in to the parking garage, I wrote an entire blog post, in my head about it.

Thrice lost 1...

My cell phone, in it's leather holster, drops to the ground from where it normally is securely clipped to the outside pocket of my purse. Smack, rattle. Damn... Scratched the phone.  Thrice found 1....

Thrice lost 2....

I had a great client meeting today, but at some point in my mad dash to the appointment, or doing my rounds to say hello to colleagues, a favourite witchy earring fell to the floor.

I went down to do my training session in the basement Training room. New computer (Dell) was totally screwed up, therefore I didn't end up teaching to all of the 1 students who showed up. We talked mobile phone capabilities before I took off for lunch and to work with another client.

Just as I finished up with her, R dropped off DS then continued on to his appointment. DS and I ran around the office giggling, then did the tour upstairs. Client from the morning was at her desk, and while we chatted, I noticed a glint from under the cubicle wall.  Favourite witchy earring recovered.  Thrice found 2....

Thinking it's been a bit of a weird day, eventually DS and I made it to the car and headed to jellyjenn 's place for dinner and for DS to play with her boys. It was a great visit, great discussions, tossing around party ideas for her upcoming birthday party. An all around fabulous evening.

Thrice lost 3....

Shortly after arriving and getting comfy with a cup of chai tea, I realized that my favourite carnelian necklace had vanished. Really. I looked inside my shirt and shook both legs to be sure it wasn't anywhere on my person. Wonderment and sadness at the loss, I wasn't going to let it ruin my fun with great company; but, I did comment that it would be totally weird if I recovered it in similar fashion to the finding of the earring when I went out to move the car in preparation for our departure.

Lo and behold....  the heat of my body had melted it into the cake of ice on the sidewalk outside the door to the car. Victoriously, I held it up in the air with a grin so jellyjenn  on her porch could see how my strange thought had come true. Thrice found 3....

Thrice lost... Thrice found... What is the universe trying to tell me today?

A memory of something from 10 years ago came to mind 3 days ago. It came up in discussion 2 times today. So now I have to ask... *Hecate* Do you have a message for me?

The end of a weird and wonderful day.

found, lost, dinner, magic, weird, kids, fun
