Lecture to self: it won't kill me to wait until the book arrives later this week or early next week. I give myself this lecture too, but I never listen!

I forgot my wallet one day recently too! And I didn't have any lunch, so I had to go around to all of my friends asking if I could borrow some cash. I felt like panhandler! "Please, be a pal, I'm so hungry..." Surprising how few people carry extra cash.
