calzephyr: Captain Kirk (I'm awesome)
When I bought my S22 phone, I splurged on wireless earbuds.

They were not cheap.

I always used them at home bc I was afraid of losing them. But, I did take them on vacation in 2024, and couldn't find them anywhere when we got home 😭😭😭

My best guess was that they popped out of my bag on the plane. I didn't buy a new pair bc šŸ’²šŸ’²šŸ’²

Well, yesterday was my lucky day!

I was searching for a particular cable in my tech drawer (which I did find), and found an old blue tablet case.

You can guess the rest of the story! My earbuds were still fully charged and everything! Here I was always kicking myself for losing things and losing an expensive thing when I was a responsible adult the whole time :D

I don't have an ungated link to this New Yorker article by Jia Tolentino, but I'm thinking about it a lot.

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/my-brain-finally-broke

"I feel a troubling kind of opacity in my brain lately—as if reality were becoming illegible, as if language were a vessel with holes in the bottom and meaning was leaking all over the floor. I sometimes look up words after I write them: does ā€œillegibleā€ still mean too messy to read? The day after Donald Trump’s second Inauguration, my verbal cognition kept glitching: I got an e-mail from the children’s-clothing company Hanna Andersson and read the name as ā€œHamasā€; on the street, I thought ā€œhot yogaā€ was ā€œhot dogsā€; on the subway, a theatre poster advertising ā€œJan. Ticketingā€ said ā€œJia Tolentinoā€ to me. Even the words that I might use to more precisely describe the sensation of ā€œlosing itā€ elude me. There are sometimes only images: foggy white drizzle, melted rainbows in a gasoline puddle, pink foam insulation bursting between slats of splintered wood."

Why do I put things in "safe places"? They're soooo "safe" I won't be seeing them again until 2035 ;-D

EDIT: All keys accounted for! Whew!

Thank goodness we have had four copies of our house keys. I've brilliantly misplaced my main set of keys, along with one set of spare keys! Man!

In happier news, I found the legs for my Christmas tree, which have been AWOL for a few years. Who wants to take guesses on where they were? (Hint: Not in the freezer or under the couch).

I'm doing a bang up job of losing things lately. The pile of receipts and bank statements that were coming in for taxes has mysteriously moved from the kitchen table, and somehow this morning I lost Moxie's wooden ladder after I washed it. He keeps jumping out and letting me know it's not there. At least I found my key card which has been missing since Thursday :-P

And ah, I have either lost a filling or part of a tooth, so I'll be calling Dr. O tomorrow!

EDIT: Moxie's ladder was on top of the microwave. How'd it get there?
