...is brought to you by the Misplace Wallet trick, which involves getting home from Iai class, looking in the pocket in your gym bag where you have put your wallet for the last 7.5 years, not finding it, looking through the bag (twice) and the car, then driving back to the studio to look there (and have it not be there), followed by driving back home, looking through the car yet again, going in, pulling everything out of the gym bag....
...and finding it in the main compartment. Sigh. That was 40 minutes of driving I will never have back....
Thankful I found my wallet. A little cranky at myself for not completely emptying the bag to start with...
The important thing is that your wallet is found, intact and non-messed with. The rest is just experience.
ReplyDeleteYou are right of course, Reverend. Mostly just frustrating on my part at my own lack of attention.
DeleteYup; I practice the Helen Keller method of organization as well. Trouble is, when something DOES go missing, I have NO IDEA where to look!
ReplyDeleteThe part that threw me Pete is that I always put it exactly in the same place. Have for the last 7 years. I do that because I will forget where I put it - except when I fail to put it there in the first place...
DeleteHaha. Can't count the number of times that has happened to me. Glad you found it safe. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt is just very unlike me. I try to put things in the same place to avoid this very scenario.
DeleteOh, I do too. But things still get lost.
DeleteI found a pocket knife I lost 6 months or more ago, in the back pocket of a pair of pants I only wear when I am gardening. I hadn't worn them since the last time I went out to check the garden.
I never put my knives in my back pocket. I always put them in my left pocket. So how did it get there? Crazy things, I'm telling you.
Must be all the negative ions created by the election. ;-)
