Find My…

there is a lovely Apple App that lets you locate wayward electronic items. Not people, unless they happened to have your phone/iPad/Mac on their person, but at least it lets me find my phone which is obviously hiding in plain sight.

This was a day of up and down the stairs so often that I started to think about the children’s nursery rhyme about meeting yourself coming and going. At some point I set my phone down. It is my “everything” as it is a phone wallet. So if I can’t find my phone, I am also missing ID and credit card/s. Add to the level of discouragement – I think I had set it on silent while at Costco.

Forcing the sound to play, I trudged upstairs again. Into the craft room which I had already checked three times. Oh, snap. It was right there, in plain sight. If you consider plain sight on the seat of a chair which had the back facing the door. The chair in front of the sewing machine and serger. Not the one in which I normally sit.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
