Don't Leave Home Without It

A few days ago, on my blog, I said something like, it could be worse....Well, turns out for once I was right. I cannot imagine what I did with my American Express Card. Now, where in the world would I even have used the dang thing in the past week or month? It is not like it can be used in a hospital vending machine to discover that whatever item to be purchased was sold out weeks ago. No, that takes cash that will not be returned regardless of whether the refund button is pushed, shoved, cursed or otherwise attacked. That brings me back to what could I have done with the dang thing? Focus....I need ice cream.

Maybe it (the American Express Card) is hiding out with my pajama top that I haven't found yet or with two pieces of jewelry that I know has to be here somewhere. A ring and a pendant that would not have been worn together. The ring was gold with mystic topaz that my partner had made for me years ago and I love it so I know I didn't give it away or anything like that. The pendant is a big silver sun burst with a red coral center and is on an omega chain came from Matzatlan, Mexico. We were in Matzatlan because we couldn't get a room in our time share in Cabo San Lucas. On that trip we bought yet another time share that we have yet to stay in. I forget how many time share properties we have now but regardless, we have not stayed in any of them. I know we have a "home" propery in Las Vegas. We get bills for it all the time. Our daughter tells us it's lovely. We did stay two nights in one time share in San Franscisco before getting a call about an emergancy that required our returning home 5 days early. I wonder if my jewelry is in San Francisco. I doubt it. The ring, like I said is gold and the pendant is silver. I usually decide if it is going to be a "gold" or a "silver" trip before I pack and don't mix the two in order to keep it simple. Simplicity is critical for me to keep organized. But, apparently it's not working out so well lately because I keep wondering what I might have done with, most recently, my American Express Card, for example.

I have tried back-tracking. Today for example is when I discovered it missing. First stop, therapist. Paid with Mastercard. Second stop, psychiatrist. Paid with check after discovering that my American Express Card was missing.  So, what did I do the day before?  Didn't leave the house. The day before that? Brought partner home from hospital....vending machine episode. The days before that..ICU, ER, and back and back and back and I have do danged idea what I might have done with the dang thing. I give up, I am going to bed. Good grief, did I ever take the ice cream out of the microwave?

Tomorrow, massage and hair day. Reminder to self. Self, take your Master Card because you still haven't figured out what you did with the American Express Card. It is so tiring being me.
