strange things are afoot

is it the onset of spring or are weird things just happening to me lately?

first, i see my Ex after six years of not even bumping into him.

this morning, i get to work and remember that i had a voicemail that i didn't bother checking before i left the night before. i check it and it's my OC. i hadn't e-mailed or talked to him in awhile but the day before, me and this other woman (another "fan" of his) were reminiscing about him at lunch. and then, he phones me (which he never does), just to say hi (which he never does), lets me know he's going out of town for the week but will talk to me when he gets back (which he won't but it's nice to know he was thinking about me). you totally want me now, don't you? oh yeah. sooner or later, they always come back. sigh, don't i wish?

this afternoon, i was at Sears trying on sunglasses. as i'm walking down the street towards the skytrain station, about three blocks down, i notice that i've lost one of my new earrings (the gold ones, the ones that my mom bought me for Christmas - the only earrings of any value i own, the ones that were always coming out and have almost lost on a number of occasions). it was a beautiful, sunny day so i turned around and retraced my steps. i eventually found myself back in the sunglasses aisle at Sears, where i found my other earring on the floor. i immediately bought backers for them.

this evening, i'm sitting on the couch, transferring the contents of my old wallet to the new one i just bought this afternoon. i then think, "where's the best place to put my bus pass?" this is my employee pass, the year-long pass that has my picture on it. the one that saves me $156 a year on transit fares. the one i'm fanatic about making sure i always have. well, i lost it. either on the bus on the way back downtown from the doctor. or on the skytrain platform. or on the walk home from the skytrain. it'll cost me $50 to replace. i'm still ahead in yearly transportation savings but still! what kind of moron am i???

i'm spent. it's been a very eventful day!
