U-Turns of Fortune

So. How funny a thing fortune is.
Sometime between Friday night and Sunday noon, I lost my wallet. My wallet contained a substantial amount a cash, a Starbucks gift card (that I was saving for a day when I could sit down and enjoy it), my driver's license, two debit cards, and my insurance card. Needless to say, I was quite distraught. Also, we went and ate dinner with another couple, the female of which is a very good friend of mine in nursing school, and found out that she might be getting dismissed because she had been HOSPITALIZED WITH PNEUMONIA and missed a lab. Evil teacher. We were really upset. And I worked two twelves which were stinky. Monday and Tuesday did not bring things much better. I canceled my debit cards. Two friends were rude to me and hurt my feelings. I drove a long way through traffic to go to the hair salon, only to find they had already taken their last customer for the day. Class was unpleasant. I was cold while walking down the street. I was stressed.
You get the picture.

But today, I passed lab skills validations, saw my accountant and got good news, got a new driver's license. Went with Mom and Dad while Dad car-shopped (he got an Infiniti M35-S. Cool), got my hair cut extremely cutely for only $10. And then, Dustin found my wallet!!!!!!! It was wedged between the seat and console in his truck and had slid down so it could barely be seen. Yay!!!!!! My hero!!!!! I called my friend to tell her the good news (she was worried it was lost in her apartment), and she told me that she also passed lab validation, she got medical clearance from a pulmonologist, and evil teacher had decided to stop seeking to have her dismissed from the nursing school!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing, fortune.
