This afternoon, as I bagged raked leaves in the backyard, I felt my ring slip off my finger. I'm not certain that's when it happened, though... I had been thinking it could happen earlier. Just... I looked down right then, in a panic, sure it was gone. And it was.
I spent over 20 minutes sifting through the leaves from that bag. That's more time than bagging three sackfuls in the first place. I didn't get through all the foliage before darkness descended and I had to give up... for today.
Tomorrow, I hope I have enough sunlight after work.
Of course, it's not the $100 I spent on it; it's a simple, small band of gold that we got at JCPenney's. But...
Well, you know.
