Well, that was stupid.

This morning, I took out my checkbook to write a mortgage check. I placed it lovingly on my desk at home, saying to myself, "Self, there's no reason to carry around a checkbook." I later picked up my paycheck, and dropped it in the bank. I thought briefly about pulling out some cash, and I said to myself, "Self, you can buy everything you need with your bank card." I went to the store and picked up lunch and a few other things, and passed up the opportunity to take out 'cash back'.

And then. I arrive in my office, where the gentleman from whom I was supposed to buy benefit tickets is waiting for me, with the tickets. And I say to myself, "Crap!". Ah, but there's a bank ATM across the street. "Hold on," I say. "I'll go get your money. And I hop out the door, into a world which is suddenly filled with cold wind and rain. WTF? It was sunny just 20 minutes ago. I suppose it's my own fault, but at the moment, I'm soaked to the effing skin. I did get the tickets, though. And now, I'm going to have some tea. (Hot, no sugar, in case matchgirl42 is reading.)
