Something Kinda Scary Happened to me today

[will85]

This morning I went out to run a few errands. At first I went to the Post Office on Valencia Road to mail a couple of packages and I used my debit card to pay for them. And I hope they both make it to their destination.

Next I had to go to a DES office north of there to pick up some applications. Then I went to Walgreens on 29th and 6th to buy some Baby Lotion so that when I take a shower, I won't itch, and who doesn't dislike itches when showering or bathing, or whatever?

But when I was about to pay for the Lotion, I found out my debit card was missing! Or so I thought. And I was scared of something like this happening and I've had some times I've left my paying cards at home by mistake but I thought today that I had lost it! I thought I left it at the Post Office.

So just as I was on my way home, or I thought I was, it occurred to me that I had no choice but to go ALL THE WAY back to the Post Office on Valencia Road if I wanted my Debit Card back.

So I was stuck waiting for the bus to take me back to the Laos Transit Center so I could take the bus I take to Valencia Road, to the Post Office.

So I finally got there to the Post Office but they told me they didn't have it. So I thought I was in BIG trouble. I even searched the trash basket next to the Busstop since I threw a few things away there and it wasn't in there either.

All seemed lost until I searched my cards again and then I looked in my card holder that I didn't think to look in and guess what? I FOUND MY DEBIT CARD IN THERE! Along with another card.

I was totally spooked! All that worrying for nothing! I wasted about a half hour of my life for nothing! My debit card was in my card holder the whole time! And in the time it took me to get to the Post Office, I could have been home. And I was about ready to tell my mother I lost my debit card but I'm glad that I was able to retract that.

I was shocked to find my debit card missing and a little more worried that it was lost forever and I was also about to apply for a new one too!

Geesh! And I've lost other important things too. I kept thinking to myself "How can I be so freakin careless?!" But I find out that I worried my life away for nothing!

I've had times like that. I've misplaced A LOT of stuff around the house, and they always turn up in my jacket. Whether my wallet, a remot control or my cellphone. I literally turn the house down looking for it, and then I just check my pockets and its usually there.

Wow. There were two times I almost lost my cell phone. Once in October 2005 I almost left my cell phone on the bus while visiting the east side of town and when I dug in my pockets I realized it wasn't there. Thankfully the bus was still there and I ran back and got it.

The second time I was at an assembly and I lost my cell phone again and ran back to look for it. Thankfully my mother was with me and she found it.

I think both of those times the cell phone slipped out of my pocket. I've had that cell phone since July 2005 now.

I remember one time, a few years back when I went to Las Vegas with my sisters, I found out that I had misplaced my Debit Card, and since we were out at the time I thought that maybe I dropped it on one of the floors of the Casinos and Hotels we visited.

And I was by myself at the time so I was spazzing out and even called my sisters about it, I mean losing your credit/debit card is bad enough, but in a big city like Las Vegas? Forget about it! As much as I tried I couldn't find the darn thing, so I ended up going back to our hotel room.

And there it was, on the floor.

I've had so many situations like these it's not even funny, like this morning when I couldn't find my cap I was freaking out because I just saw it not even 5 Minutes earlier, and I found it under some books. I can only imagine how these little fiascos will grow as I get older, especially if I ever end up having kids.

I know that's right. Didn't think about Las Vegas though and that's a really good point there.

There was a time I thought i left my ipod at school. I was frantic. That ipod cost over 300 dollars. Anyways, I looked in my backpack and my pockets, it turned out it was in my brother's car. man i so relieved.

I had also lost my iPod. I had just come back from Florida and I brought my iPod there with me. So I am at home to bring my iPod over to my friend's house to listen to it &&I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. I really started to panic. It could be either in Florida or in the airplane I was in! I search my room and turn it upside down. I give up and hug my stuffed dog that plays music. The zipper was open on it, and there the freaking thing was.

OMG! I lost my iPod too! The last time I remember having it was when I got home from my grandma's house in New York, and now it's gone. My mom thinks I left it in some random city (during cheerleading season we traveled alot), but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere's around my house. =C

Oh gosh, This past month (well, April), I thought I lost my big graphing calculator and freaked. So my mom and I went out and got a new one for $116. And my friend at school, a few weeks later, was emptying out her back pack and pulling out all these electronic devices and stuff that she had from her parents or something, and she pulls out my calculator! I was so freaked; I must've lent it to her and then forgot about it! And apperently, she did too

But no loss there, the old calculator will go to my sister for college ;D
