FUCK!

Okay, the universe needn't scare me like that again.

8:40, running late for my appointment at the Jacobson Center about my English paper, and I'm running around stuffing things into my backpack in preparation for my day. I come down to putting on my coat and the last thing I do before I leave the house is put my headphones on and boot up my Nomad, so I can bike to class to some tunes.

Except I couldn't find my little blue toy.

Anywhere.

It dawns on me that the last place I saw it was in the Bass lab where I have my CS class. I had taken it out of my coat becuase the headphones were bothering me. And apparently left it there in the mad scramble to meet with my professor on time and then dash off to catch a bus to the mall.

FUCK.

Keep a cool head on my shoulders and call the Bass Lab. They make me describe it (Okay, it's blue, it's got a little green screen on it, and this thing is so old and well loved that it's completely scratched up and all of the buttons have their labels worn off). But they've rescued it for me.

A little ridiculous how that thing is that important to me, but I would probably wither and die without my music. And my Nomad is probably my most cherished possession - on the same level as the rose keychain was before I lost that (and was completely devastated - I'm still hoping it turns up in the house somewhere. The keys attached to it would be nice too) and my gold yoni necklace...

Okay, I can stop panicking now, I think. Sheesh.

i fully understand- i always fret about possibly losing mine, too. it's the really small simple model that they first came out with a couple years ago. not only would it be too expensive for me to replace easily (and it was a gift), that thing is a real sanity saver when i have to work in the lab or do a lot of errands using the local busses. not my absolute most valued possession, but right up there in the top 10.
