my BIG ring

Hello.

This morning I am troubled as I do not have my big ring.

Normally I wear it on my little finger (right hand). It sits there all day minding its own business. I like to twiddle my ring sometimes (insert childish snigger here).

Today I forgot to put it on in the morning and I am disproportionately aware that it is not snuggly hugging my finger, keeping it warm and secure.

Its funny as things like rings, chains, wrist bands or whatever are just plonked on each morning without much thought and become part of everyday dress. Don't really think about them much. Then, when on the rare time I forget to put one on, I feel undressed without it. Its CRAZY talk I tell thee. Didn't realise how much I fiddled with my ring until today.

I suppose a lot of woman (and some blokes too) probably have an array of jewelry and so vary what they wear each day. But I have noticed the man-trend of having one or two items that are always worn. I have a small set of beads that I always wear, probably only removed them a couple of times in the last few years, no lie. They bathe with me, sleep with me and live with me. Perhaps my head would fall off or similar if they were removed, I just don't know and I am no longer prepared to take the chance.

N.B's:
i - I am not Mr T or anything, I don't have loads of jewelry as this entry might suggest. I have three items, no more, no less. That's probably why I feel undressed when one item is not attached to my person.
ii - I am not a girl.
