Lost and Found

On Wednesday of last week I worked from 7 in the morning to almost 8 in the night. And that is not counting the one and a half hours of travel to and from work. I was so tired when I got home that I put all my dirty clothes in the washing machine, took a shower and had some food that Dina had already heated up. After that I was going to go to bed and was looking for my mobile phone which I could not find and it suddenly hit me that I had not taken it out of my jeans pocket before putting it in the washing machine.

So I had to stop the machine and take out the clothes and look inside the jeans pocket but it wasn't there. Only then did I think of calling my mobile from my home phone and surprise, surprise the bloody phone was sitting on the table where I had put it when I came home. So with a sheepish smile I put the clothes back in the machine, turned it back on and went to sleep.

the next morning, as I was leaving for work I couldn't find my keys... And I looked in the washing again. I took every piece of clothe out and searched the inside and couldn't find it. I checked every bit of clothe and put them back in and still could not find it. I was feeling very annoyed by this time as I had lost my house keys two weeks before and we had changed the locks and this was a new set that had cost me qute a bit of money. I checked all the clothes again taking them one at a time and searching them thoroughly and still couldn't find them. Then out of the corner of my eye I caught a glint of silver. The keys were lying in the outer lining of the door to the machine...

This was not the end. On Friday when I was coming home I was searching in my bag for my chapstick and lo and behold what do my hands close on?? My house keys from earlier that I had "lost" couple of weeks ago... When I told this to Dina later on, she could not help laughing while I sat there feeling a bit embarrased... But I guess everyone ahs this sort of thing happening to them once in a while...
