My Period of Loss

In the past three days I have managed to lose my driver's license, my older driver's license that I used as a back-up, a beautiful (and beloved) red cashmere/silk blend hoodie, and any confidence that I will make it home safely all by myself and with dignity intact after a drunken night out with friends in far away parts of the city.

Maybe, if I'm really careful, I get home tomorrow having lost nothing more than a little bit of weight.
