Mint

Just before I left Jacksonville for Tampa, I decided to invest in a nice raincoat. I don't mean fancy, but rather good quality and lightweight. I bought a beautiful mint-green Columbia jacket and have been toting it around with me all week. Tampa has been very rainy, especially in the evenings, so it was a good purchase, if quite expensive even on sale. Tonight I decided to go for a little ride -- okay, you figured me out; I just missed Fernando! He's been sitting alone in the garage a few blocks away since Sunday night. I didn't see him at all yesterday!

The minute I finished work and walked out of the building where we're working, the wind kicked up and the rain started. I went straight to the garage, as planned, and put my things on the passenger seat. And then I noticed my jacket was gone. Shit! It must have slipped out of my arms while I was walking to the car. I searched the garage around my car and asked the garage attendant when I returned if anyone had turned it in. No one had. My last hope is that it's in lost and found for my company or for the building. I am so mad at myself for losing it, and I'm not buying another one. There's nothing I can do about it tonight, and I am exhausted. Wish me luck.
