Black water

I have the bad habit of throwing my clothes around-- strip off when I get hot, put down somewhere, forget I did so or forget where I did, whichever, and then wonder what happened to the thing. This is especially bad at work, where t-shirts and scarves and such will emerge from the laundry after six months. 'Oh it's yours? It's been here forever.'

My pull-over hoodies OTOH are necessities. Outerwear in fall, indispensible innerwear in winter. I notice when they disappear and I wouldn't leave work without them. (Much.) So I was a bit put out when the thick navy one vanished last spring-ish. Wasn't anywhere. Couldn't think what I might have done with it. But hell, it always was too small at the neck and a pain to get off, so forget it. Buy a new fleecy at Honest Ed's. No hood, which is actually a blessing in winter because hoods get wet when it's snowing and don't dry out. But thick and warm and I like it.

It's gone. Can't find it. Sure I had it up to the weekend but in an absent moment put the red hoodie on instead when I went out Sunday morning. Assumed grey one was down in kitchen where it ought to be. And it's not. Aaagh.

There are hoodie stealing Things in my house and I do not like it.

ETA: I have the bad habit of throwing my clothes around and leaving them in my brother's kitchen. (We live side by side in what is structurally a single house.) 'I thought it was John's' says my SIL. Should have asked if they had the navy blue hoodie as well.

Yeah, we have a black hole here too, into which things like clothing and the like frequently disappear. And has anyone ever really solved what happens to stray socks?

The sock thing is truly scary. There's only me here. And I have something like three dozen unmatched socks. Some I know developed holes and I threw them out and these are the remnants. But when half of one of my $25 a hit compression socks goes walkies? Yeah.

yeah that sock thing drives me insane ... I try by even tying them together if they are long enough. I've even tried sock bags now ..but but still I end up with odd socks ...aaargh!

Unfortunately girl and I are like that ... *sigh* Often it's traceable if it's at my sister's, or Mum's or Dad's but ... if it's been left on a bus or train that's definitely bye bye ... although hubby has a magic umbrella which seems to return to him no matter where he's left it.

Also thank you. Your card cheered me up and thrilled the children. No doubt it will be recycled into something by the girl, who loathes to see something shiny go to waste. It will see life beyond Christmas. So it is totally wonderful and not sucky at all ^__^

*HUUUUG* we are still alive if rushed off the feet somewhat.
