I am so irked...
My day started out so good too...
I went on my usual walk/run today and during the run part my brain and body were cooperating very nicely. The weather was so fabulous that I actually walked an extra mile on my georgeous path. It was a little warmer than I expected so before I started running, I ended up taking off my sweatshirt and left it on some ball park bleachers that I pass. I do this quite often because its a very secluded area and then I grab the sweatshirt on my way back. Never been a problem before!
Not today!
My sweatshirt was gone! Not just A sweatshirt though... my FAVORITE sweatshirt that is so comfortable and also has sentimental value. We had given it to my father-in-law years ago, then retrieved it after he died. It was gone! Someone took my favorite sweatshirt during the 1/2 hour I was gone. Someone - like one of the 4 or less people that would by chance be on the path during the late morning. Come on!
I remembered passing two older oriental ladies (way older than me) and one of them was carrying what I thought was a white jacket. Now I wonder, did she pick up my sweatshirt thinking someone had just left it there from one of the weekend games? I walked back trying to find the ladies but they were nowhere to be found. (Please - No wise cracks from the peanut gallery about not being able to catch up with old ladies!!!).
So I am irked. Irked at myself for leaving the sweatshirt. Irked that someone picked it up. Mostly irked that my favorite sweatshirt is gone. I hope whoever has it enjoys it as much as I did. UUUUUGGGGG!!!!
It was good to read that you got that extra mile of walking in during your beautiful sunny day, but not so good to read that you lost a very sentimental sweater. I'll pray that over the next few weeks, you'll be able to see the ladies once again along the trail that you think may have picked up the sweater. Perhaps as you see other walkers on the trail just casually ask if they may have picked it up a few days ago. I do hope that you find it, and also hope that your walks can continue to be extended that extra mile or two. Hugs,(caring1) Dan
ReplyDeleteSadly, I have not ever seen these women before and probably won't again. Nope, I think the sweatshirt has a new home now. The sweatshirt happened to be one we got at Whitey's years ago for my FIL. (My FIL loved Whiteys ice cream too). They don't sell the same sweatshirt anymore. Sigh!!
