the joy of small things

this is the padlock i had since my sophomore year of high school. it has been on my art class locker, just about every gym locker i've ever used, and the locks on several of my apartment storage units. it was the last apartment (the 'homeless homeowner' one) where i left it behind. i actually went back to the bldg when i realised about a month after the move it was gone to see if the lock was still there. no dice. i still think about the lock from time to time, because the combination is burned into my memory, and whenever i need to lock something i wish i had my lock again.

i have really been 'nesting' lately, doing a lot of cleaning and organizing. (you would not be able to tell this by looking around, but, hey, progress takes time.) while i was moving stuff around in the basement tonight, i found the padlock! it had fallen to the bottom of my little basket of laundry stuff like dryel and downy balls. it is a little scary, even to me, how happy this makes me. i am sooo OCD.

  1. YAY!! I'm glad that you found it. I can remember my first ever locker combination, in seventh grade, and I can't even remember my locker combination for the lock I use at the gym! That combination is: 38-26-6
