Right. So...
Feb. 10th, 2015 01:21 pmThere was no avoiding the sick. I spent most of the weekend on my couch watching, "Gilmore Girls" while sporting a low-grade fever and popping Halls Defense Vitamin C drops like they were candy.
Which...if we're honest, they are. I don't actually expect the Vitamin C to do anything to speed up my recovery time, I just like the flavor...especially the grapefruit ones. Plus, I find them less harsh on my throat than regular cough drops.
Adding to my February Is Hell last post, I managed to lose my wallet again. Or rather, I think someone stole it from me as I rode the bus in a sinus headache-induced stupor on my way home from work late Friday evening. So that sucked.
Credit cards have been cancelled. I've already got my paper work going for a duplicate license. I'm out $8 and some loyalty points to my local burrito and vibrator shop.
...
Those are two separate shops, by the way. Not one that sells burritos and vibrators. Though...imagine the possibilities there!
No, no wait. Don't.
Anyhow, the weekend sucked. All my awesome plans to spend time with awesome friends eating awesome food were dashed upon the rocks so I could have less than awesome crud filling my lungs and making it impossible to sleep well or even stay warm. So fuck you, last weekend. You sucked.
I've made it to my desk today, and while I haven't done a damn thing in the last two hours I've been sitting here, I'm still kind of amazed I made it out of the house at all.
Boston is functioning on dialysis at the moment. Our subway/trolley system can't keep up with the snow, so we're all bus people for the time being. Or well...some of us have always been bus people, but now we all are. Bus or cab people.
It's been suggested to me, that I purchase a new bag because this is the second time my current satchel has aided and abetted me losing my wallet. It's also been suggested that I get a new wallet, and not just because my previous one is wandering the snowy streets of Boston alone and unsupervised. Or at least I assume it's alone and unsupervised.
My current theory is that it fell out of my bag, hit the floor, and then was inadvertently pushed out of the bus by the automatic doors as someone was exiting. Why? Because in the movie of my life that would be far more interesting to watch cinematically rather than someone bumping into me and taking it from my pocket.
There my wallet sits, in the foreground of the shot slowly being covered by snow as my bus pulls away in the distance. Like the floppy disk that falls beneath Jenny Calendar's desk that contains the spell to restore Angel's soul.
Yeah. I went there.
Anyhow, suggestions for good wallets and satchels would be greatly appreciated.
Requirements:
Wallet - needs a coin pouch. Would prefer something I could keep my Charlie Card in so I can just touch the wallet to the bus reader thing and go.
Satchel - external side pouch for umbrella would be CHOICE. Something with a key lanyard is helpful. Internal pockets are key.
