Lost.

No, not the television show...which I've actually never seen but have heard about from lots of people.

My WALLET. Which is, unfortunately, the most recent member to join The Things That Blue Has Lost club.

Yesterday I tipped the hotel van driver in Boston. Then I flew to New York City. Then I flew to Salt Lake City. Then I picked Doc up from a friend's house. Then I came home and collapsed into bed. Went to pay my mortgage this morning and discovered No Wallet.

In the past month, I have lost, either permanently or temporarily (for at least one day)

1. American Express card.
2. cell phone
3. wallet
4. all my keys
5. my favorite hoodie sweatshirt
6. camera
7. crew luggage food bag
8. glasses
9. library book

I'm about to lose my mind.


I've replaced:

• The AMEX,
  
• The eye glasses
  
• The keys

I eventually found:

• my cell phone
• my favorite hoodie (well, it is at my friend in Vermont's house still)
• my crew luggage food bag
• my camera

so that just leaves the library book and My WaLLeT...which has a lot of StUFf in it.

Doc says I'm not the problem, it's that The System isn't working. I need a new purse that closes, and consistent habits. But I confess to wondering if there's actually something completely wrong with my head.

Grateful for:

1. Credit Card Companies who protect their member's
2. That as annoying as this is, it's not significant in the big picture. We are enjoying good medical health, and that's not insignificant.
   
3. My Sister & Brother-in-law and their amazing family. Being with them is my kid's favorite thing after being at home. They've been watching them an awful lot for me lately.
4. Three solid days on terra firma before I start flying all night again next week.
   

PS: I did find out that one is able to deposit money into any account one likes, without ID. Such fortune! So feel free to make any contributions you like to...I'm hApPY to supply the account number just for the asking.

PPS: one thing I didn't lose but managed to find during this same time period is a solid 12 pounds. This has not been one of my happier seasons.
