I have a small netbook - think laptop, only smaller - that was a gift from a friend. It's served me well over the years, and when I go on trips, I like to take it with me because it's user friendly, and has a keyboard, so my typing skills are put to use rather than one fat-finger on the keyboard of my phone, which is NOT user friendly for long emails, or a blog post!
Because there's a trip in my future, I wanted to locate my netbook, charge it up and see if I needed anything before I left home. When I went to the place where I thought I put it, all I found was the AC cord. *sigh* Now where could I have put that netbook?
I searched high and low, through my computer desk and the cupboard that stands next to my desk to hold binders and such. Nope. Then I thought it might have slipped down between the wall and the headboard .... not there either. I pulled out every old purse in my closet, thinking I'd slid it in one of them... uh uh. *sigh*
I finally quit looking because the next day was a work day, and I needed to get some sleep. I said a little prayer, looked heaven-ward and said "Dad, help me out here!" I hoped the answer would come to me in a dream. Nope, didn't get lucky there either. And all day, every time I opened a drawer at work, I'd strain my brain to see if I remembered where I'd tucked this little thing!
By the time I reached home, I knew what I had to do: disassemble my room in a sort of "spring cleaning" to see if I could find it ---- and 20 minutes into the cleaning, I did!
And as usual, it had me chastising myself for not remembering that I'd tucked it on top of the filing cabinet that's underneath my desk top. There's about 2" of space... and that's where I'd slid it!
Now I just feel silly!
