What I Did Today

It hid under a floor mat

I got up, showered, and dressed.

My friend and  I went to a doctor. Then we went to an exercise class. Then we took lots of bags to what we thought to be a recycling building. It turned out to be a dumpster. The errand took such a long time. Let me tell you Google Maps(tm) is far from infallible.

As am I.

I got home and found out my cell phone was missing. I searched everywhere in my car. I called and called my phone. Nothing. I called my friend. She looked all over and called and called. Nothing. I tried tracking my phone via Google. Nothing. I tried tracking my phone an Apple app. It asked for my password. I didn’t know it as one of the younger natives only picked one to register my phone. The Apple app on my computer informed me that it would take days to get me a new password.

My friend then looked again.

She found it!

It was under one of the floor mats in her car. How was it possible for my phone to find its way there? The mind boggles.

Now I’m too tired and worn out to do anything. I had planned to scurry across the country causing mischief. Maybe tomorrow.

I hope you behaved yourself when I was looking for my phone.
