I lost two things in my apartment this week. Which always baffles me when it happens because I do not live in that large of a place so how on earth could it have just disappeared!?
I did find both of them, mind you... the one, was a small item I was returning and I had gone with it to my "shredding" machine (where I store my receipts until I'm ready to shred a bunch of things) and I had placed it down to sort through the receipts and then walked away because the receipt wasn't in there. So I guess really I'd lost *two* things at this point. But I found the receipt in my kitchen (I hadn't moved it to the machine bin yet) but then couldn't find the small item where it should have been (in the kitchen, on a counter, by the door, nothing!) until I went back into my bedroom for something else and found it sitting on the floor next to my open closet. Scatterbrained move I guess... overly distracted and not paying attention?
And then the next thing was my hot water glass/mug that I drink, well, my hot water out of. It's a tall, double uhhhh paned? That's not the word, it's double walled glass drinking container that I drink hot water out of. It wasn't on the counter where it lives (for the cold seasons). It wasn't in the cupboard where it lives when not in use. THERE IS NO WHERE ELSE I PUT THIS THING????? It wasn't anywhere I sit - not on a table or a counter or a side board. It had just... disappeared?
Until some part of my brain thought to just maybe check the dishwasher, where it was sitting quite happily waiting for me to take it out after the last wash. I guess I had taken all the other things out but not seen the seet-hrough glass at the far back end of the top rack.
So yeah, I'm maybe not "losing" things but I'm certainly not excelling at finding them when I need to. Heh.
