Lost my wallet

Dangit! I lost my freaking wallet. Cash, credit cards, ID, the whole shebang. It's either at a bar or in a certain gentleman's jeep. He didn't take the jeep to work today and the bar is not open until 5:00 so I spent all morning canceling credit cards and dealing with that kind of stuff.

I went to the little mom and pop grocery store around the corner and explained what happened. Even though they don't take checks, the owner let me write one for a couple of basics AND let me write it for $20 over. I wanted to kiss him. As my neighborhood gentrifies, I just hope that we don't lose businesses like that.

What a stressful way to start my weekend. Thank goodness my boss is so understanding and sweet about the whole thing. I am going to leave early today to try to replace my driver's license. Nothing like spending Friday afternoon at the DMV office.

Thanks for understanding, Shy. I spoke with the bar/restaurant and nobody turned it in there and it is not in my friend's car so it's just gone. Late last night I remembered that I had to cancel my government card and I did that 24 hours after losing it and nobody had tried to charge anything so maybe someone will try to get it to me yet. The problem is that my phone number is unlisted so they would not be able to reach me unless they came to my house and dropped it off.

I really doubt that I will see that wallet again. Oh, well.

It's really a pain in the behind. I have to go to the DMV at lunch, so wish me luck. I have completely given up hope on getting it back and am just waiting to get everything replaced. The hardest part is not having my ATM/Debit card. I really think that I left it at the bar/restaurant and someone found it and intended on returning it. Otherwise there would have been some illicit charges on at least one of my credit cards. But my number is unlisted so they would not be able to call - they would actually have to go to my place and drop it off and I can't blame someone for not wanting to go through that. Maybe I will get it in the mail yet...
