One Ring to Console Me for the Loss of Everything Else

I found out my work schedule has been pushed back a little bit today. Yippee! So I came home for another quality two hours of scarfing ice cream and watching Meerkat Manor. On my way in, I picked up a package from my friend in Chicago who found my ring!!!

Yes, the superfluous punctuation is absolutely necessary because I thought this ring was gone forever. A couple months ago, I visited my friend in Brookfield, as part of what became known as The Big Long Trip Where I Lost Half of My Belongings. Included in them was an antique silver ring with a large turquoise stone. Irreplaceable of course, I was almost certain I'd lost it at the bar along with my scarf.

So long I lamented the loss of this ring. So many nights I lay awake crying due to my wayward finger ornament, on top of the scarf, compounded by the blatant theft of my necklace, which I will someday gather the strength to thoroughly discuss... Anyway, whatever. I got my ring back. Yessssss.

Instead of watching Meerkat Manor, I should write my friend a thank-you note.
