Some hours after my eye operation I went to the corner store for sundries, like Montreal bagels, and came home. Around 6 I discovered that my wallet was missing from the backpack.

Because one must pay the eye clinic fees with a credit card, that day I'd brought not only the low-balance VISA I use for online purchases, but the line of credit one with the high five figures. First thing I did was call and cancel, natch. No one had used them, which meant lost not stolen, but still. The chances of finding a lost wallet in this town are not high. (And I shall say here that on my evening walk today I found a July Metropass on the sidewalk, anonymous as you please, so it can't be returned to the owner. If I were not me I'd have taken it, but I am, so I left it for someone else.) Then I went back to the corner store and yes, they had my wallet, which I'd probably put on the counter and not picked up again because, actually, I wasn't seeing much on that side.

I had replacements within the week, but my online stores still have the old one on record. This has kept me from a multitude of impulse purchases, and is useful. No more. Hundred Demons 20 is out, and I must inform bk1 of the new order of things forthwith.

*hugs* have a good weekend dear. ^_^

Thanks. You too, if possible. ^_^

Yikes. What an infernal nuisance. I'm glad that they were only lost and not stolen, but still . . .

It helped to have had the emergency numbers close to hand, in my address book for ease when travelling, because prior to this I only lose my wallet or have it stolen in New York, or rather, Newark; but I've done it three times now.

Aww, what a nasty shock!

Take it easy ... >hugs<

It was a good day for it, being the last and not the least of several wibbly moments. And the way the world looks post-surgery lent a sense of unreality to the whole thing that was most helpful.

Wow. Thank goodness you found it quickly.

And now, of course, I can't go into the store without the nice young clerk reminding me not to forget my wallet. The Koreans do look after obaasans by reflex, but still, I wish I hadn't marked myself so stunningly as one of that number.

I'm sure it will. Was almost tempted to use the courier service for deliverye, but common sense prevailed.
