Good Day Turned Bad

My misfortune with earring purchases continues. While in Santa Fe, I bought these fabulous black jade earrings on the plaza from one of the locals(therefore making it completely irreplacable because his signage is a little dot...great)for $20 when they were really more like $40 (we got the earlybird special). Today as I leaned over and flushed the toilet here in corpo-hell, I noticed something black fall into it...I was like what is that? And before I realized that it was my precious beautiful black jade earring that i get tons of compliments on, it was sucked away. And yes, I shoved my hand in the toilet as far as it would go whilst it was flushed away. I'm gonna cry. Now if BOTH earrings had coincidentally fallen off my ears and been swept away, I'd be able to deal, but no. I'm sitting here staring at the lone leftover one. I think it's mocking me. I blame my ears for all of this nonsense. I SWEAR the only earrings i've lost were on my left earlobe and I think it's because the hole in it is larger and they fall out easier. I seriously don't have a matching pair of earrings at all anymore. And somehow the incidents always involve water. My fave pair that i scored online (cute little lightning bolts)...one mysteriously disappeared after a rainy, drunken night barhopping in the Ham (I still think it's somewhere at Metro Bistro). Then, the other pair that a friend made for me was ruined when I lost one during the torrential rain/Hurricane Ivan day-off-work = all day bender incident which i blame on the fact that I stumbled, well, fell home and they fell off. BUT this time, I'm really pissed.I wasn't even drinking. Must be my karma.
