note
I've lost my notebook. I never ever lose important things, never. I don't lose keys, I have over 100 keys, easily, I don't lose keys, I find keys, I once found a key to my own house, in my backyard, a sibling had dropped it there, probably years earlier, I found a front door apartment building key to my friend's old apartment building, a tenant had dropped it, my friends agreed I should keep it so they wouldn't have to buzz me in when I visited, only answer my knock on their door. I just got up from a nap and a friend posted seconds earlier asking someone to call her phone because she couldn't find it, I called it, and helped her find it.
but now I have apparently mislain a very important notebook. I will be very sad if it fails to rematerialise in my life. there was nothing absolutely irreplaceable in it, some data about how many hours I had worked for someone recently, that I can probably guess about in a reasonable enough manner to generate an invoice, though I hate to be imprecise in such things, some songs I heard on the radio that I had yet to look up and find out what they were, some measurements I will have to take again, a few clever ideas probably. fortunately I was pretty up to date on transferring the data from it, regarding my work hours, into my computer. other people have lost more important things, limbs, loved ones, but I'm still upset by this.
as soon as I realised it was gone, I texted a friend who has previously been able to find things by non-standard means, at least by most people's standards, she's in another state, and I asked if she could "see" it, remotely. she said she saw a wet rug, and smelled laundry detergent, and also saw a dog. earlier that week I worked in 2 houses, one with a large dog, one with a wet rug, which smelled bad, also laundry in the cellar, where I could have dropped it. so far no luck tho, the tenants haven't returned my call asking if they'd found it, in the wet rug house, the intermediary who got me that gig didn't see it when she was cleaning up after I'd left. I haven't given up hope yet, I'd really like to get it back.
one good thing I will cause to come of this, from now on I shall be more careful, even though I'm pretty darn careful, and I'll back up my data every night like a good carpenter. d:
