Friday Morning Heart Attack

During the night last night, my left hand was doing weird things. My fingers felt swollen one minute and then asleep another. The problem being I was sound asleep. I remember thinking my fingers feel funny but then I just adjusted my wedding rings (they are sautered? together so really I refer to them as just one ring). I got up this morning ready to head to the gym when I went to put on my runner ID... which normally I have to lift over my ring and I realized MY RING IS NOT ON MY FINGER.

What. in. the. world.

I never take it off unless I'm playing sports. So I began to slightly freak out. I lose things from time to time... my keys, my phone, but never my rings! I do not remember ever taking my ring off. In the past when my fingers have felt swollen, I have taken it off and put it on my nightstand, but thats on a rare occasion. I looked there. Not there. I looked on the floor by my nightstand. Not there. I looked under my pillows and covers. Not there. I looked under the bed. Not there. By this time I had woken D up and he reassured me we'd find them. I took a deep breath and headed to the gym hoping some cardio would refresh my memory.

I spent some time on the bike and then on the elliptical. I finished my workout by doing some strength via weight machines. All the while, I was praying for total recall of what I did with my ring and that I would find it. The last machine I sat down at had sweat on the handles so I went and got a paper towel to dry it off. No joke, I sat back down on the machine and there was my ring on the floor right beside me! It was seriously as if it had appeared out of no where! I had to do a double take. At first, I looked around wondering if someone else had lost a ring. I picked it up and sure enough it was my ring (dirty and all) and fit perfectly as before. Again, I looked around blown away that the ring I lost at home appeared right by my machine at the gym.

The only thing I can think is maybe my ring was stuck in my tank top somehow and fell out at that last machine.Let's remember I walked around my house like a mad woman, got in my car in the garage, parked and walked into the gym, walked to the far side of the gym, used 2 cardio machines, and 3 different strength machines. Crazy!

I went from devastation to elation! My ring is back securely on my finger now and I haven't stopped saying Thank You Jesus!
