Last week was the first snowfall of the year. I wanted to go walk in the snow, opened my closet to get my black winter coat, and couldn’t find it. Where’d my coat go??
Answer: I don’t have a black winter coat any more. I replaced it years ago (2019 maybe? pretty sure it was pre-covid) with a gray winter coat, which was, in fact, in the closet. My brain just completely checked out for a sec.
It happened again today. I was replacing the bedsheets with flannel sheets for winter. I went to the drawer and retrieved a sheet and pillowcases, but no fitted sheet. Where did I put the fitted sheet, and why wasn’t it with the rest of the set? Memory gradually returned as I searched the house. Three-ish years ago, the fitted sheet got a hole and I threw it out. One can’t buy a fitted sheet by itself, so I bought a new set of flannel sheets, which were sitting in the spare room closet.
(I had already put the old flannel pillowcase on my pillow, and couldn’t be bothered to change it, so I’ve got a brown checked pillowcase and gray sheets. It’s fine.)
