That was lucky.

Charlye and I decided to see the matinee showing of Jersey Boys. We had to be at the Box Office around 10 am to get student rush tickets.

I got there a bit before Charlye so purchased the tickets as they were going fast. I started walking towards Charlye after the purchase as she was close to the theatre. When I got to her I was going to have her turn around and walk in the direction I was going which was towards the subway.

But I couldn't find my metrocard.

I had just filled it so it had plenty of funds on it. It wasn't in my pockets or my purse.

It was gone.

I was slightly disappointed.

I explained this to Charlye and she asked if I wanted to retrace my steps. I said I did even though I'm sure it was a lost cause. So we turned around.

As we were crossing the street, Charlye said, "is that it?" and pointed to the ground. There was a metro card. I didn't even see it. I figured if anywhere, it would be on the corner when I pulled my phone out of my pocket, thinking it got stuck on my phone for a second and then fell off somewhere on the sidewalk.

I bent down and picked it up thinking it was probably an old one that someone just threw out.

Nope, it was mine. I could tell.

By the time we got to the subway it was dried off from the rain and being in the wet road.

And all the funds were there.
