Well, I had to do something stupid, didn’t I?

I started my laundry rather late, having filled my basket during daylight hours but spacing out on actually putting clothes into the wash until, oh, close to 10pm. I just hauled the clean, dry clothing out of the dryer and… noticed with considerable chagrin the number of fortune cookie slips in the lint trap.

Yep. I washed my wallet. My license is slightly warped, now. My bus pass is almost completely shot to hell. (And how glad am I now that I didn’t buy January’s pass while I was passing by Safeway this morning!) The money? Oh, it’s designed to take a bath or two, so no worries there. I can only hope that my bank card wasn’t adversely affected, let alone my Social Security card. The wallet itself is a goner, though. Dammit. I liked that wallet. I’ve never washed one before, so why did I start now?

Merry Christmas, everybody. May your holiday start out better than mine…
