Lost and Found

[beachlass]

Things found today:

My package of garbage tags (the stickers that have to be on bags for municipal pickup)
A list of the points system for immigrating to Canada
Two more balls of yarn under the cedar chest
Hey! That book I thought I had. Yes, that one, not any of the other nine hundred book. I wonder how many books I actually do have?

Lying on the floor wheezing asthmatically into the phone, it occurs to me I haven't found my inhaler. Not on any of the 6 levels of this house, not at the bottom of my purse.

Laptop bag!

Oh, that special category of lost items - things packed away into travel bags that were never thoroughly unpacked. Plus, fishing around and finding my inhaler I also found the hand cream I've been searching for the past month.

Lost?

My sanity. It's a little early in the game, but I'm already beginning to get that - oh noes! - I packed my sanity into one of these boxes, and now I can't find it.

But at least I can breathe again.

that's right, you're moving soon aren't you! that sucks big time (though at least you get a chance to purge?!?! maybe?!?!?) hopefully it doens't leave you sobbing in a corner (as i often find myself on moving days, only half packed and panic-ing :P)

i assume you're staying in the great white north...

finding lost books is always delightful :D

We've already done two trips to the dump, and bags of stuff for recycling/rummage sales.

And yes, finding lost books is great.

You know I totally want to know what book it was...
Asthma sucks. I just got off the phone with the after hours nurse at my local health network - she is going to phone in a refill for my inhaler, since I cannot find it... not even in my laptop bag.
I am going to come there and label all of the boxes, so you know which ones contain shards of your sanity.
Just 'cause I love you.
I may have found a bit of your sanity behind the bookcase as I was vaccuuming. Sadly, I believe it is now covered in dog hair.

Brueggemann - Psalms and Modernity. (something like that)

I could send you some spare sanity from California. Um... not that we're well known for our high-quality sanity down here in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, but...

I'm glad you found your inhaler. I wonder what's in the travel bags that I failed to unpack all the way.

Maybe Pocky?

For all my demurring about how I didn't need my inhaler, man did it feel good once I could actually breathe again. Thanks for the nagging. And the listening... did I let you say more than 10 words last night as a rambled and ranted?
