About 9:00pm last night, through a series of unusual events, I came to the realization that I did not have my keys..... I have a large set of keys..... vehicle, home, and many U keys. Their loss set me into a anxiety filled panic. I and my wife searched everywhere at home for over three hours. I called the pool and the public safety of the pool. I called the grocery store we had gone to. No luck. I was told, because the pool itself was closed, to try again in the morning (6am). I had a fitfull sleep. I awoke at 6am, called. Called the grocery store again, all to no avail. I then spent another three hours search and backtracking all through the house to all the places I had been (or at least could recall being). I was running late for work at the U. Losing U keys is a REALLY GIGANTIC deal and involves making new cores on locks of all the doors the keys work in. . Losing the vehicle key would cost ~$250 for a replacement. Losing home keys could increase vulnerability.
I was beside myself.
I eventually found the keys in a stack of my hats on the dresser in my bedroom. I HAD looked there at least THREE times during the search period yesterday and today.
I had to scoot immediately to work. It has been exhausting, just doing the normal work, as my mind is shot.
I have ordered a "fob" thing to put on my keys so I can track them. I cannot go through this again.

That would be terrifying! I am always worried about misplacing my keys. Glad you located them but the stress along the way was NOT a good thing.
ReplyDeleteOh no, nightmare! Sometimes you can't see for looking.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was going to suggest Tile or an airtag or whatever. Not that I have any experience of mi[placing things. Uh uh. Not I.
