Losing My Mind

It's official. I was beginning to think it to be true, but I now have proof. I am losing my mind.

It all started this morning when I got up to get ready for the day... I took my cell phone away from the bedside and began my morning routine. By the time I got ready to head out the door, I questioned towards my hubby, "Do you know where my phone is?". He didn't, so I busily searched high and low and thankfully found it oddly placed next to the dog food container, where I apparently laid it prior to feeding the dogs. It was behind a lamp, thus not easy to see. I found it though, and headed out the door to work.

So this afternoon, before Laura and I did our bi-weekly walk during our lunch break, I changed into my workout clothes and silenced my phone so my coworkers would not be bothered by it while I was out of the office walking. Because I had forgotten to grab my lunch from the house this morning, we ended our walk a little early to allow me time to run to my parents house and snatch a pot pie to go. I made my way to my parents house, grabbed what I needed and headed back to the office to make my grub before I had to be back at my desk. I remember having my phone at my parents and I remember leaving my parents home with my phone... after that I went blank about my phone.

Around 2pm or so, I found a need for my cell phone and discovered it was MIA...I retraced my steps once- being ever so nonchalant to find where I left it... no phone. I retraced my steps a bit more fervently and adamantly again, looking in the frig to be sure I didn't drop it while putting a coke away, looking in the bag of clothes I changed out of to make sure it hadn't fallen in, .... hmmmm.... no phone.

So I shared with some coworkers, I can't find my phone - they suggest places to look, I retrace my steps a third time, getting more annoyed than anything... in the car? no. Bathroom? no. Trash can? no.... hmmmmmm. NO PHONE!

Some serious time has started to pass at this point, I even inquired upon two male coworkers insisting they were hiding it from me... no phone. Hmmm.... three coworkers decide to trace my steps for me and offer a new pair of eyes... no phone. Coworker number four searches the car for me... no phone. WHERE DID IT GO?!

Did you leave it at your parents? I don't think so, but I feel crazy so maybe I am. Go check... drive to mom and dads again - NO PHONE. Come back to the office, everyone is somewhat anxious now... where could it be. NO PHONE. NO PHONE. NO PHONE.

Did I mention the part about the phone being ON SILENT and so therefore calling it was not a legitimate option. Where is the "Where's my droid" application when you actually need such a beast?! No Phone.

Everyone consoles me. We'll find it somewhere. Send an email out telling the office to look out for it....

I tell my hubby what's going on, he replies,

ok, so let me get this straight....you lost it this morning and then found it and have now lost it again

I had no choice but to answer, "pretty much!" ................................................................DEFEAT...........................................................

And then a customer calls, one who I am not familiar and as they ask for pricing, I grab my price guide and customer list binder to prep for the customers' question... I pull the binder out, open it up to the pages I need.... and THERE IT FALLS..... MY PHONE!

My phone had been filed away in a binder ... I wanted to SCREAM when I saw it, but held professional for the call until I could get him off the line - - - - "Thank you, have a good day". CLICK....

I FOUND MY PHONE!!!!
and somewhere along the way, I lost my mind!
