Freitag

I went to put on my sunglasses this morning as I was leaving my apartment and they weren't in my bag. Neither was my cellphone! I had noticed yesterday afternoon that my new glasses case was sitting on top of my bag instead of in the outside pocket (where all three things normally reside), so I suspected that perhaps my bag had been dislodged somehow and stuff had fallen out of the pocket. I park it on a short bookcase beside which is both the recycling bin and the trash can. Oh, I hoped they hadn't fallen into the trash!

So this morning as I tried to enjoy my library book on BART all I could think of was "what if I have accidentally trashed my cell and sunglasses!?" You see, the janitors come Tuesdays and Thursdays so the trash would've been taken away.

I hurried to the office and to my relief and delight my sunglasses and cellphone and tissues and coffee nips (more things fell than I realized!) were sitting collected on the bookshelf. I guess I should make sure my bag pocket is zipped up at all times!
