rootofnewtyesterday, i pulled on to i-66 and found a comfortable spot in traffic. as i sped away from our hotel, i reached up to brush my hair behind my ear.
"OW!"
i looked at my hand. a tiny raw scrape sat there with a few drops of blood.
how odd. so i felt up in my hair. i got to my ear and found the culprit.
one of the balls from my curved barbell was not screwed into place.
dammit.
i was pretty sure it had been in place when i awoke (i always check before getting out of bed). but after that? no clue. hotel, luggage, car... there was no telling. and it's tiny. and dark. and not shiny.
i gave up all hope of ever finding it and decided i'd just have to see if Coyote could order a Ti ball for me the next time they place a jewelry order. i placed my CBB on a shelf in the bathroom at eye level, so I'd remember to call.
this afternoon, i was putting in a load of stinky-because-it-sat-in-a-hotel-room laundry into the washer when i spied something small and round on the floor. i figured it was a glass bead from one of my gauze skirts and almost didn't pick it up. I'm glad I did.
no, it was a small blue titanium ball.
to the universe, I THANK YOU!
