3:01 a.m. I stayed up late to do some last minute organizing; every time I come home I try to clear some of the old photos and papers and notes and journals that i hang on to forever. I managed to reunite 2 pairs of socks that have been separated for at least 2 years, so this was already in the books as a productive organization session. But THEN i opened an envelope from the bottom of a drawer and American dollars cascaded onto the floor...lots of American dollars. It took me five incredulous minutes to count up $1200 USD in small bills. Twelve hundred dollars in cash? TWELVE HUNDRED? Where has this money fallen from? I have no remembrance of hiding this much money, having this much money, missing this much money... and i'm not the kind of person who can afford to lose track of twelve hundred dollars. ? happy new year? i'm going to take it as a good omen for '08. |
