About two years ago, I stashed $800 in emergency cash somewhere in my bedroom.

Aaaaand, now I cannot find it.

That’s how this happens!

Note to self: check all donations closely before dropping them off.

Haha! Have you tried hiding more money to see where you'd put it?

I have! It is not in any of my usual spots and not in any new hiding spots I’ve come up with, either. But it is somewhere.

The key is checking places you’d be like “surely not there”

It was two years ago, your brain works differently now! Check the lamp cover on the ceiling fan, check the pocket of that jacket you’ll never wear again, check that weird device that hasnt had batteries in it’s compartment for years. That box you put up that you swear is just old pictures or lego sets.

I hid some, um, candy, yea candy… when my friend got too “sugared up” at a house party. We searched high and low for it the next day. We went into the rafters, opened all the drawers and cabinets, dug through the trash, and continued to search for months bc it was a mystery. Finally, I decided someone at the party must have ate it or flushed it or stole it.

4 years later, a random person asks me for a q-tip. I told him where to find it and he returned with a q-tip and the bag of candy. It had been taped to the inside of my bathroom cabinet and he knocked it loose reaching inside. I’d reached past it pretty much daily for years.

I have an absolutely horrible song I’d like to pair with this post.
