So today started out to be a horrible crazy day! I woke up late, had to rush around to get ready for work, had to make sure I fed and took Echo out. Once in my car I realized that I had no gas! Which is not a good thing with an hour long commute. So I head out to the gas station and hurry to fill up my tank. In my hurry, I placed my wallet on top of my car so that I could fill up the pump and then proceeded to put the nozzle away, grab my receipt, jump in the car and zoom off to work. When I finally get to work, I am following my routine, put on uniform shirt, grab cellphone, keys, clock-in card and wallet... WALLET?? WHERE IS MY WALLET?!? I tear my car apart look absolutely every where for it and can't find it. Go into work freaking out and walk into a hurricane of paper and people shouting. So I turn around and head back to the car where I disassemble the whole thing again looking for my wallet. Then it hits me! I put in on top of my car at the gas station. *GREEEEAT* Just what I need, to lose my wallet and not know where in the world it fell off my car. So I go back into work, explain to my boss what happened, track down the phone number for the gas station. I call, and nada, can't find the wallet anywhere. The sweet lady recommends that I cancel all my cards, she is sure its a goner.
I however am not going to give up hope so quickly. I call up a friend and ask her to run down to the gas station and check for me to see if she can find it anywhere. (Thanks Lindsay! ) Again, nada. So I'm starting to feel really really really down in the dumps when I realize that my social security card and my stamps are in my wallet ( at this point I think that I am freaking out more about the stupid stamps than anything else... don't know why..but I was). At this point, I just decide to call Nathan, let him know what happened and pout for the rest of the day. I was working a late shift at the Lodge, so there really was nothing I could do in terms of going anywhere and looking for the wallet myself. I prepare myself to have a rough day, nothing seemed to be going right at work, everyone was really tense, and I couldn't handle much more drama as it was. So I decide to randomly check my email. There I found an email from Nathan that says I should call Frank (my father-in-law about my wallet).... Frank? what in the world would he know about my wallet? So I decide to call him up and find out what this was all about. It turns out, I was carrying a check in my wallet from Frank, that happened to have his telephone number on it. So the wonderful person who had picked up my wallet at the gas station called him to say he had found my wallet. Frank then continued to give me this persons name and phone number.
I give "Dan" a call and it turns out he had pulled into the gas station and seen my wallet laying there, found the only phone number in there and given it a call. Dan was so sweet that he said he would even deliver the wallet to me. He drove over to my house and put the wallet in the mail slot in the front door. So when I came home tonight, there it was!! My wallet and everything. When I opened it up all my cash was in there , including the check, all my stamps and cards. I felt such a rush of relief. Most of all I am soooo thankful for all the good Samaritans there are in this world! This man saved me a lot of unnecessary stress! So kudos to Dan for being so awesome!!!!!
