Panic...I lost my wedding ring!!

Tweet

Let me start with a little background. First off, I go to weight watchers and have lost almost 50 pounds since February. I work with developmentally disabled adults. Well on Friday afternoon, I loaded up the van and took a load of guys to the SPCA. Our guys sort and fold newspapers in a specific way for the kennels. We also pick up newspapers that people leave. We got to the SPCA and a few of the guys got out of the van to help carry the papers from the parking area. They then carry more papers to the van. When they get done, I check the containers for more papers. Some of the containers contain trash or food so I don't let the guys do this. As I was leaving, I noticed my ring was gone, panic set in. The guys went swimming that morning, so the ring could have been lost there, or it could have been on site, in the parking lot or at the house. I broke out in a sweat (as if the hot flashes aren't enough). I wasn't sure how I was going to tell my husband what happened. I immediately turned the van around and checked the parking lot and containers, knowing I only had about a 1 minute window since boredom can lead to behaviors. I quickly looked at the ground and did not see it, ran to the bins and in the 2nd place I looked I found it.. I breathe a sigh of relief. I got home and told my husband what happened. He has lost almost 70 pounds and he told me a similar thing happened to him but he thought he lost the ring in some surgical gloves when he removed them (he is an ER tech). He later found the ring on the bedroom floor. It fell off while he was sleeping. Has anything like this ever happened to you? What is the most valuable thing (either in cost or sentimental value) that you have lost or misplaced?
