Reunited and It Feels So Good!

"Reunited and it feels so good!"

That song has been stuck in my head
since yesterday afternoon
when the Ever-Patient Terry 
met me at our favorite bar
and told me my FedEx package had arrived.

FedEx to the Rescue!

Finally!
Thank God!

I had been sitting at Parkway
nursing a glass of merlot 
and kicking myself
for locking myself 
out of the house
four hours earlier.

One can only kill time for so long

~ wandering up and down the aisles 
of Walmart and Sam's Club 
while trying to remember
what was on the grocery list 
locked in the house ~

before consoling oneself
with a little red.

Do you lose things?
Misplace things?
Forget things?

I could blame my predicament
on increasing age,
but honestly,
I've had a talent for this 
all of my life:

~ Lost my car keys in Halifax's Victoria General Hospital.
~ Locked myself out of my car in the hot Nevada desert.
~ Left my purse on a plane in Newark, New Jersey.
~ Locked myself out of the house at 40 below in Sioux Lookout.
~ Left my wallet in a Las Vegas hotel safety deposit box.  

Oh the joys of being distractible and forgetful!
I could go on, but you get the idea.

So, Monday I left my computer in a restaurant
an hour's drive from home.
Along with my 
house keys,
car keys,
camera computer cord,
backup external hard drive
(with tens of thousands of photos),
iPod shuffle,
and earbuds.
I don't recommend this.

It's been a rough week 
of reliving that moment
of walking away from the restaurant table
without picking up my briefcase.

"I was a fool to ever leave your side.
Me minus you is such a lonely ride."

I never realized 
how attached I was to my technology!

I've been coping.
And I've remembered not to 
automatically lock the door
behind me when leaving the house.
Until I didn't.

Oops!  No cell phone either!

A nice man at Parkway lent me his cell 

so I could call the Ever-Patient 

as soon as he got home.

The E-P came to my rescue

and told me my computer et al. 

had arrived via FedEx ~

finally.

And then he bought me dinner and a second glass of wine.

I may have issues with distractibility and forgetfulness, 

but I sure know how to pick a one-of-a-kind husband!

Back to the blogging world tomorrow ~

unless I discover

another iteration of screwing up!  LOL!

Warning!
