Do you ever have those dreams where you're in school and you're supposed to be going to a certain class but you realize you haven't gone to that class in like... 8 weeks, and so now it feels like it would just be embarrassing to show up and be all, "Hey, algebra class, I'm back...oh... we have a test? Shit. Also, why am I only wearing a towel?"
Yeah, well that is why I haven't posted anything for like a month. I took the 22nd off because it was husband's birthday, and then it spiraled into, "Well, shit, I can't go back... I don't have an excuse for not posting now." Only, I do have an excuse...
That is not entirely true, I guess. I have a whole list of things I could write about that I haven't... like the fact that there is a portal to another dimension that has followed me around since I was a child.
In 1984, my parents bought me and my sister a Barbie Silver 'Vette. It was entirely bitchin'.
Unfortunately, when we went to put it together, there was a piece missing, the roll bar that held the back window on... not that that really bothered Barbie much. She was well aware that rolling her Corvette without the roll bar was going to do her no harm because her head is made of soft plastic, and it had seat belts. It was just kind of a bummer because the box was sealed, and a piece was missing. I still had loads of fun playing with it for the next 8 years.
Several months later, however (or maybe weeks, I don't know, time is exponentially more wibbly wobbly when you're an 8 year old), I was rummaging in a closet in my grandmother's den, and there was the friggen roll bar, just hanging out with some sensible shoes and a few scarfs.
In the past 29 years, I have had all sorts of things disappear and then reappear at a later time, but I was reminded of the 'Vette incident when we recently had our kitchen and pantry floors redone. My husband stashed as much as he could in cabinets and then moved everything else out of both of the rooms. When everything came back, the lids to all of our pots were gone. We looked through every cabinet, every box, in the basement, EVERYWHERE.
A month or so later, I was sitting next to the kitchen sink, waiting for water to boil, and I thought, 'Eh, I know we've looked under the sink a bajillion times, but why the hell not?' and I peeked in the cabinet and the motherfuckers were sitting right there out in the open.
Seriously, we had pulled everything out of there. They weren't there, and then, all of a sudden, they were.
I have thus surmised that it has to be an inter-dimensional portal that is responsible for the phasing of my belongings in and out of my environment. It is really the only thing that makes sense.

I have the mini black hole version of that. If something goes missing, no matter how big, it is gone. Forever.
ReplyDeleteI would like to assure that you are not alone in this phenomenon. This happens to me ALL THE TIME. I usually blame fairies and stomp around the house loudly, proclaiming my mastery over the domain and as such the fae should obey me and return my ****ing stuff. Then my fiance shakes his head and leaves the room, quite aware that he is about to marry a lunatic. But he hasn't changed his mind. Yet. Also, my stuff always magically reappears within the next 24 hours. So, either I'm right and there are mischievous fairies following me around or fiancee just like ****ing with me.
