In the Bag

My purse, cleaned out. Judging by the business cards, which I picked up a month ago, it was about time.

• Spare access card (no longer activated)
• "Alibi," by Joseph Kanon
• New copy of Marie Claire magazine
• Cell phone
• EEG referral
• New prescription for seizure meds
• Ticket stub from last Wednesday's Cubs/Dodgers game
• Check from the Boyfriend with his share of the rent
• Business card from the furniture place where I bought my dresser last weekend, and which took four hours to deliver said dresser last night, even though I only live two blocks away
• Keys
• Sticky note with brand and make of my computer, for last week's CD/RW drive-buying excursion
• Blue headband
• Sticky note that came on a book from my sister
• Receipt for lunch

• Sticky note from work (how did that get in here?)
• Sticky note reminder about cross-streets for doctor's office
