I just had a small life lesson, or perhaps I should say a reminder about something I already knew.  You see, I have a bit of a temper (which folks here haven't seen) and I also have very strong beliefs about some things.  The gist of what happened this evening is is that because of something that happened during a transaction at my pharmacy, I ranted at the evening cashier (we've known each other for awhile, so it's not like I was ranting at a stranger) about the general topic of personal liberties and how the current system is crushing those liberties.  It's a really major hot button issue with me.  I told her I may just call Corporate over this company's ridiculous policies.  She heard me out and was nice about it, but she also said there are much more important things to worry about so she doesn't sweat the small stuff (of course, maybe it's small to her...but it's not to me).  Of course, she's entitled to her opinion about the matter.  No problem there, but I was definitely riled up, and a customer approaching the cash register heard me and probably wondered who the crazy woman was.  So I was embarrassed and felt badly for spouting off in public (I haven't done that in awhile, but it's been an issue in the past and I get upset with myself when I relapse into angry mode).  I drove home and, although I feel much better now that I'm comfy in my PJs, I had the unfortunate experience of realizing, while changing out of my work clothes, that I had lost one of my favorite earrings, made by a coworker who makes jewelry on the side.

To me, at the moment that I reached for my ear and the earring was missing, the immediate lesson was that if one puts negative energy out into the universe, it comes right back at ya somehow.

Lots of other ideas about things I want to write about, none of them baseball related, just random stuff about my life and my plans, but I'll save that for another time.  I didn't get enough sleep last night and need to get a few things done and then try to get to bed early.  Hope everyone out there is well.
