there are things that you won’t miss until they are gone. these things that we take for granted can range from something as simple as running water to something more complex like a significant other.

the item that i didn’t miss until it was gone was a nail clipper. i don’t know what happened to our nail clipper, but it has been a few days where i felt that i needed to clip my nails, but couldn’t find them.

the other night, i was typing away, bleary eyed, trying to get some work done and every character that i typed on the keyboard started to bother me. i tore the house up and down and couldn’t find them.

it got so bad that i actually drove to CVS in the middle of the night (thanks for being open 24 hours!) to buy a cheap nail clipper.

and ooooooooo, the joy and satisfaction that came from clipping my fingernails cannot adequately be described. yes, indeed, it is a small little thing, but it was the biggest highlight of my night.
