The title says it all but this started two days ago when I put my ring in my pocket like an idiot.
I was cleaning the license plate frame on my car but it’s currently covered in bugs from a recent road trip in Malaysia. Being the cautious person I am, I slipped my engagement ring into my pants pocket to keep it clean. I made a mental note to myself not to forget it when I put my clothes in the laundry. I was struggling to get the license plate frame on the car since it wasn’t well lit. So, I headed back to my house and completely forgot about my ring.
I’d gotten home late from work so I was tired and went about my evening. Sat on the couch, took a shower, and threw my pants with my engagement ring into the laundry hamper. I’ve been working 10-15 hours each day this week so I didn’t have any time to wash my clothes.
My fiancé has been staying at our place an hour away while I’ve been staying at my parents to take care of my sister after she had surgery. When my fiancé came home this weekend, he very thoughtfully woke up early to help take care of my dirty laundry. I was half asleep when he got up at 6:30am to get to the laundromat nice and early. I mumbled that he should stay in bed with me instead of going but he insisted.
My fiancé got back home and we spent our day together. We went to the park with my sister and I told him I’d leave the ring at home since he and I were going to play frisbee. Later on, we’re getting ready to go out for dinner and I look for my ring. Then I realized it was left in my now freshly washed pants.
We’ve gone to the laundromat and scoured my parents place. I’ve accepted my fate and I’ll be selling my soul to afford the replacement before the wedding.
