The exercise:

Write about being: lost.

Made the mistake of going to meet a friend on my own this afternoon. I should know better than to go anywhere new without my navigator.

Rest assured, Kat kindly reminded me of this fact after I (finally) returned.

The exercise:

Do what you will with: lost and found.

Relaxing day off, ending with gelato at the beach with Kat. More days should end that way, really.

Mine:

This morning I found something that had been missing since Tuesday: my wedding ring.

To say that my inability to find it had been causing me some stress and frustration would be a definite understatement. I knew I had seen it Tuesday morning when we were packing up to return home after our housesitting escapades, and I was pretty sure I'd stuck it in my bag - but not 100% sure.

When I was unpacking that afternoon, I couldn't find it. So I tried to convince myself I'd left it up there, but when we went back up to feed the horses one last time and to clean up after ourselves I still couldn't find it. That was when I began to seriously worry I had lost it for good.

I'd asked the owners to keep an eye out for it but really wasn't holding out much hope they'd spot it where I hadn't. As the week went on I went over Tuesday morning in my head again and again, trying to remember what on Earth I'd done with my ring.

So where was it all that time?

In a side pocket of my bag.

Which I'd checked at least five different times.
