Lucky Underpants

Last night, whilst sorting out some fabric, (I was looking for a very specific shade of green...and you can guess how many yards of green fabric I have. Don’t judge me.) I found my lucky underpants. They have been missing since I moved from NY, and I found out why. In my delightfully organized packing style, anything made of cloth gotthrown together. When unpacking my fabric, I found tons of shirts, but I didn’t shake everything out really well.

But I should have.

While pulling down every piece of fabric I own from the top shelf in my closet, one of the larger bolts, which had been intended for curtains, hit me on the head and unrolled on its path to the floor. And what should I find but my lucky undies! There they were, sitting there in all their serendipitous glory, no worse for the (lack of) wear.

I was unsure as to whether on not these miraculous knickers had lost their power, so I am currently testing them. Traffic was horrible, but that has nothing to do with luck, traffic is always bad in the morning in Las Vegas. I got a good burn on someone within minutes of being on campus, so it is entirely possible that they are still lucky. The real test will come tonight, during the UV-Vis lab. If the data comes out smooth and the instrument doesn’t break (and if we finish before 10pm), I will call it a win. Updates to come.
