/Quick update (I have LH’s post to comment on later, plus details from convo with L earlier this afternoon):
To those who believe in signs / messages (or at least have a fairly well-developed sense of irony):
I went for a swim between my last class and talking with L this afternoon.
While I was doing a backstroke in the pool, my left arm came up with such momentum that the wedding band flew off my ring finger into the pool (I eventually did find it)
