2:00PM: I buy a parking permit ($43) at the Parking Office today

2:10: I proceed to walk across the cross-walk and down to the bus stop.

2:10 and 45 seconds: Arrive at Gilman bus stop. Look down and realize, I managed to LOSE my permit.

The next 10 minutes: I frantically look around with my apartment mate and conclude that I officially dropped and lost my permit. I WAS SO BUMMED.

By then, I figured someone probably had picked up the parking permit and is either now using it/selling it. Blergh. Seriously, $43 bucks down the drain just like that. I really am usually NEVER this forgetful or careless but at that moment, I really did not know where my permit was. (Also, I’ve been misplacing things at home too… oh gosh I really have to be more careful!) Figured God was trying to teach me a lesson…

4:29PM: I receive an email titled “FOUND YOUR PARKING PERMIT”

Thank you God.
