Ravings of a Textual Deviant

So, one of the things I have discovered in the last year is that when you lose a significant amount of weight, it starts to come off the strangest places. I’ve always had long, spindly fingers, and to be honest, they don’t look all that different to me now than they did a year ago. I had noticed recently that my wedding and engagement rings were getting a little loose, but I didn’t really think about it, except in an isn’t-that-interesting kind of way.

Until yesterday.

Apparently, some time between Monday night and Tuesday morning, both rings slipped right off my finger and I didn’t even notice. Ed found my engagement ring on the bedroom carpet, but the wedding ring is nowhere to be seen. Granted, that one is much less expensive to replace; it’s just a tiny plain gold band. (Ed still jokes about my $30 wedding ring.) I’m sure that the original is in the house somewhere. I could probably even narrow it down to a couple of rooms. Unfortunately, a search of the rooms in question didn’t turn it up. At this point, I’m hoping it’ll turn up when my house gets cleaned on Friday.

I don’t even want to think about a replacement. Even an identical replacement won’t feel right, though. I’m sure that the weight would feel wrong, and it would look too new.
