ups and downs

The Good:

I finished crocheting my blue wrap! Go me!

The Bad:

My mother bought me wonderfully lovely earrings from Europe, that were beautiful blue glass and perfect for me. And I got to wear them for a whole half hour before one of them dropped off my ear somewhere between home and work.

That's three railway stations, two trains, and quite a bit of footpath. I'm not getting it back.

And yes, I know it's just an earring, and children starving in Africa etc, but part of me wants to just sit here and burst into tears for a while...
