Okay, so in the story of Cinderlla she lost a shoe.... and in my case it was an earring but hey... the story kinda fits.
Yesterday was Mothers Day. When I woke up I wasn't really thinking about it. But as I lay in bed... slowly my brain started working over the same few thoughts over and over again. Before I knew it I had been laying there awake for an hour. So I got up... and moved to the couch. I sat there staring out the window... letting myself get into a worse mood. Before I knew it I wasn't just thinking about it being Mothers Day but I was thinking about money, and work, and pretty much everything that is kind of going poorly for me right now. I was spiralling. By the time I left for work I was pretty much in one of the crappiest moods I have ever been in.
I felt terrible about it because everyone at work was in such a good mood. So I got some coffee... tried to perk up... and then got to work. I focused on as many tasks as I could, forced myself to laugh at my co-workers jokes, and smiled... even though I really didn't feel like smiling.
In the last hour at work I noticed that I was missing my left earring. Which under normal circumstances wouldn't normally upset me. But these earrings were special. I wear them when I am having a bad day, I wear them when I need a little luck, or when I just need something to perk me up. I they are my favorite earrings. They were a gift from one of my closest friends. So when I realized that my earring wasn't in my ear it was pretty much the final straw of the day. My eyes started to sting and I thought I was going to lose it.
So I took a deep breath and jumped into action. I did a grid search of my entire store with my eyes firmly locked on the ground. Unfortunately we had just dust mopped the floor and thrown out the trash. I had to come to terms that my earring.... was gone... forever. There was no chance that I was ever going to find it. So I texted my friend. I told the story. I went home and just... went to bed. I wanted that stupid day to be over.
When I woke up today I was still kinda grumpy but, after being at work for a little while my friend called me and told me not to sweat losing the earring....
Then my phone started buzzing with some pretty awesome news ( That I won't disclose at this point).
So when I was on my way home I was in a pretty good mood. Yesterdays unhappiness was long forgotten. I was looking forward to doing some cleaning... maybe some painting... and then.... as if it were fate I walked into my apartment, kicked off my shoes, and stepped directly on my my missing earring.
I feel like it's a sign that things are going to start turning around again.
