Oh. My. God.

I found my emerald ring. On Friday the thirteenth. In a place I'd checked a thousand times before.

Can't tell you how much that means to me, particularly this morning when I've been sitting here since 5am playing whack-a-mole with accounts payable, and despairing.

So yeah, yeah, yeah, the universe is soulless and indifferent, a big empty tessellation that only in the moment by moment manages to pull off defying that Second Law of Thermodynamics. Meaning is a delusion. Everything floats.

But finding that ring had meaning for me.

most times when I've lost or damaged jewelry, it has been the stuff of sentimental or better value- and it never shows up again.
congratulations on the odd reappearance of your ring!

California lottery is up to 72 million! Maybe I will!

I remember reading about when you lost it. I'm glad it made its way back to you again!

Thanks! And it's nice to see you posting again (although I know as a newly wed you have other things on your mind...)

It was playing with your mind, it was.

FYI, one cheap and easy way to find bling-bling is to wait till dark and use a flashlight. Shiny!

I once found a stone that fell out of roommate's ring by lying on the kitchen floor with my cheek resting on the lino. I was able to catch the reflection of it amidst the dust bunnies.

It must have been playing with my mind because I swear I'd looked in that place 10 times before.
