Monday night

Well, I lost another $20 bill tonight. I'd taken it out of the ATM this morning at the bus stop (where my bank is) just to buy holiday stamps at the P.O. tonight. Turned out the stamp dispensing machine this year accepts debit and credit cards only (and doesn't dispense holiday stamps -- so I got a generic "Celebrate!" stamp with balloons on it). I had the bill on me at the time. I guess I lost it when I was pulling the keys out of my pocket to get back into the truck (so distracted these days...).

Didn't notice I'd lost it till I was checking out later at the grocery store. (I think I must have turned a shade of purple or something.) Drove back to the P.O. to look around and also back to Target (adjacent), where I'd been before the P.O.

Well, Merry Christmas, whoever you all are, but I'm done playing "Secret Santa" this year. (BTW called doctor's office this morning and no one had found the money clip I'd lost Friday, with the $20+ attached.) (I'd used that money clip for 15 years or so.)

So as of today, I'm no longer carrying cash -- nada. (The stamp-dispensing machine doesn't even take it anymore!)

UPDATE: Found money clip in a pair of pants and will continue to carry. (Still lost the $20 bill, however. Happy holidays to the finder!)
