The title of this post is the key line I remember from a voice mail I had on my phone Sunday morning. It was my friend Karen calling. I couldn't figure out why she left this message and asked me to call her. She had agreed to store the majority of my clothes and linens while I am away so I didn't have to ship them home or rent a storage facility. Everything was neatly packed in Space Bags. I wondered...(i.e. the conversation with myself in my head) "Did her house flood? No, the clothes are in bags. They can't be squished if the bed broke she was storing them under. The house catch on fire? I just saw her sister and she looks rather calm. Oh my gosh, is Karen OK? No that can't be it. Hmmmm...am I that poor of a dresser?...I did wear jeans to work this week. We were just talking about clothes....maybe she won a sweepstakes and wants to just take me shopping...."
I finally called her back and Karen's first question was, "Are you sitting down?" Yes, I said....(thinking...this can't be good) She proceeds..."Well, I'm taking you shopping when you get home. My car was stolen and all of the clothes you gave me to take home were still in the trunk."
I think "Oh Wow!" My suits, dresses, linens, costumes, and bedding! In the end, it's not something that I won't get over. I lost a few of Jeremy's things I still had and one blanket from my Grandmother. They are just things. Karen is OK and that is important. Who knows....maybe I'll need a new wardrobe when I get home.
