Strange fortunes

So, Saturday instead of going to Darcelle's with a huge pack of peeps, Butterfly and I went to Coldstone for ice cream and the movies to see Prince Caspian (which was awesome). Somewhere between Coldstone and this morning, my wallet disappeared.

I got a lot of sleep on Sunday, realizing only after a five hour nap that it might have something to do with the sunburn I acquired on Saturday.

This morning I realized the absence of my wallet -- including my ID, my debit card, various other plastic, and $11 cash. OTOH, I had my paycheck. OTOH, a paycheck is kind of hard to cash with no ID. And I was in need of gasoline

I managed to coax my car -- nearly stalling about 8 times -- along to three credit unions and the movie theater before I called [livejournal.com profile] wisen_heimer with my tale of woe. After she lent me her Sorento, I went to my credit union, where I was able to cash my paycheck, get some cash, and A REPLACEMENT DEBIT CARD right then and there! And then I made it to work on time.

And then I was able to use her gascan - which I had also borrowed - to get a gallon of gas to ensure my ability to arrive home. Which I have done.

So, the plan for tomorrow has been adjusted, since I have a job interview at 10:00 AM, a Cookie Lee meeting at 3:30, and Vestry at 7:00. It doesn't leave as much time for packing as I'd hoped, but I'll still go buy some more boxes so Butterfly and the boys can get some more done. People are still welcome to stop by and help, but I can't call it a party if I'm going to miss most of it.

Wednesday shall still be cleaning at [livejournal.com profile] thegrungediva's starting at noon, especially since we're having a PartyLite candle party that evening (TGD: call your guests to remind them of the time and to bring their payment devices).

We'll deal with Thursday when it comes.

ETA: Wallet has been found! Huzzah! (It was hiding on a bookshelf. On top of books.)
