it doesn't go there!

Right before lunch I went to the bathroom and before I unbuttoned my jeans, my pen flipped out of my pocket and landed in the toilet. I wasn't sure what to do but I had to act before it sank, so I grabbed some toilet paper, reached in, launched it out and let it drop on the floor. About then I realized the superfluity of the toilet paper.

I went down to lunch and my ID card wasn't in my pocket. I went back to my room to look for it but couldn't find it--but picked up the check I had to cash--and came back up just as the 11:50 lunch rush was starting. I got a note from the desk and waited in line.

Finally, we approached the door to Saga. I felt something in the back of my pants suppressed a sheepish smile. I knew where my ID card was. I had somehow flipped it out of my back pocket--my pockets are small and it often falls out when I use the bathroom--and flipped it into my pants while in the bathroom.

I cleared my dishes from the table but didn't feel anything in my pants. Had it fallen to my knees? Perhaps. I left the cafeteria and returned to the bathroom.

I locked the door and checked everywhere, but with no luck. The card must have fallen out my ankle. It must be lying on the floor somewhere in Saga.

I asked Steve when I went to dinner, but he hadn't seen it.

The check is still in my pocket.

  2. haha I did about 30 seconds after posting this. I was gonna go to the sports complex to run in the morning, so I put sweats over my shorts and a sweatshirt on and my ID in my sweatshirt pocket. I opened the door and it was beautiful, so I took my sweatshirt off and left it on my bed and went running outside.
