How to find things….
first get super distracted and try to do a whole bunch of things at once so you can lose something. 😁
Make yourself feel really dumb and beat yourself up a little because you can’t find the thing that should be easy to find…just remember the last time you used it….
Look in the exact same spots about 10 times and move the papers differently each time.
Check every pocket and under the seats in the car at least 3x
Cry on the couch a bit…why not
As you go to sleep, keep thinking of all the exact same spots you have already checked at least 5x…
Wake up with an idea of one more spot…that you’ve for sure checked 3x before but this time will be different….and VOILA! On the desk but stuck to the back of a piece of paper is my credit card….oi.
Sometimes sleep is all we need to find the quiet so our brain can sort itself out. While we sleep it can put all the files back in their proper ‘place’. It’s sometimes hard for me to trust my brain to ‘file’ things in the right spot. When I had Sprout my brain played tricks on me. I once saw a dog running down the mall…it existed only in my brain apparently. Funny in hindsight but not so sure it was to my friend or to Fraser who couldn’t seem to help me….
So, when I lose things it feels a little bit ‘extra’…and now I’ve lost my person too. :/ Definitely feels a ‘bit’ extra. Guess all the sadness wasn’t only about my credit card….
