keys-me-not
I had a tiny problem this morning.
I’m staying in an apartment block which has a communal laundry which locks automatically and we’re provided keys to it. This morning, some time after I had chugged my laundry into the washing machine and gone back to my place, I realized I didn’t know where my keys were. I forgot where I dropped them. The thing is, it’s a workday. Most people are out. And I would have to wait a looooong time before anyone would go to the laundry room so I can check if my keys are there. Ewww.
Good thing I found them in my room. Somewhere. I forgot where now.
Eric doesn’t understand how I can lose my keys. All the time. But I do.
Well, I don’t really lose them. I just forget them. I just forget where I placed them.
Sometimes I forget that they’re in my pockets. Or I remember that they’re in my pockets but I just don’t know which pants. Or which coat. Or which bag.
Or sometimes, I just forget to take them out from the door when I came in the night before. So when I rush out of my place in the morning, I find them there, patiently waiting to be taken out of the hole they’re stuck in. During the times this happened, Eric said: honey, don’t do that! That’s dangerous.
Hm. I don’t think he has heard about that time when I left them stuck in my mailbox. I got home at night and couldn’t find my keys. I rushed out again to go back to the office and look for them, and on my way out, I saw them! Dangling from my mailbox, which of course, has my apartment number in it. Haa… thank God for little miracles, they’re still there! …and there was no one in my apartment.
However, I promised Eric that I would never lose my keys again. (Note: that’s how he wants this blog to end). He said, if I lose them again, he will spank me.
Which reminds me… where are my keys now?

here's a bet: you won't lose your keys because you will remember to place them in your wallet. but i bet the contents of that wallet that you will misplace it (the wallet).
remember when you left your wallet in the office, and in the bus, and in the deparment store, and in the ladies room, and god knows where else?
i miss you.
and tell eric he is lucky. at least you haven't misplaced him yet
you've never left your keys behind when we've been together, but then maybe that's because they are hanging around your neck on that big rubber band....
hahahaha!
funny! I only have one suggestion, always take a conscious effort to keep your keys in one place - like if you always have a bag with you, remember to put it there. Make up some sort of ritual.
Our friend, V ? to make sure that he locks the office doors at night and doesn't start getting paranoid when he gets home ? he recites the day's date while making sure that the doors are locked, that way, if he ever doubts anything, he will have a memory of checking that night.
this has worked for me
heheh... i must've left my keys in the apartment door three times already.
ha ha ha ...
that reminds me .... keynky minky. HA HA HA.

Hrmmmmm. I think I might lose my keys for that reason
i always end up with misplaced keys too...
that's why you'll find duplicates of all my keys inside my pouch bag
i also have a set kept inside my drawer in the office
