Late and Early Stress

After a late night introducing a new friend to Firefly, I realized that I my wallet wasn't in my purse.  ACK!!!  I text my friend to see if it's there, and go look through my car.  Being that it was midnight, it was a bit dark, though. 

I thought back to when I had last had my wallet.  It was in the Downtown Disney parking lot, but I was pretty sure that I threw it in my car.  The next place that I went was the gym.  My purse (and gym bag) had gotten all turned around in the tiny lockers at that location.  I learned that the gym opened at 5am the next morning. 
So I go to sleep around 1am, knowing that I'll be getting up at 5am to call them.

Around 5am, I do indeed call the gym.  No one's turned it in.  I don't think that the lockers are used that much at that location, so I ask if someone could check the locker that I used (I remembered that it was #13).  The gym receptionist told me that he was the only employee there, so he couldn't look. 

I try to convince myself that I can drop by the gym on the way to work, but deep down I know that I'm going to have to get up at 5am and drive to the gym to look for my wallet.  I get up, brush my teeth, try to control my hair, and go to the car.  I figure I'll look through it again now that it's lighter.  Not really that much lighter, it wasn't even 6am yet!  This time, instead of just the passenger seat and back seats, I also looked around the driver's seat.  And there it was!!!!  Relief.

And, back to bed.

At 6:45am, my alarm goes off.  Instead of the lovely and relaxing sounds of classical music, DJ'd by Dennis Bartell, it's beeping.  I try to switch to music, but instead turn it off.  I convince myself that I'll rest of 5-10 minutes, and get up.

At 7:30am, I wake up thinking "Crap, I gotta go to work!"  Since my teeth were brushed and I had showered the night before, I actually was able to leave for work by my normal time of 8am.  That's including changing sweaters and nylons after I decided that the first set didn't look right.  I stopped for coffee and a smoothie on the way, and got to work fine!  But, geez, my 1am and 5am and 7:30am was pretty stressful today!
