I may have to swear

How is it, that even though I’ve only been here for 11 days there is already a black hole in my house?

There is one document I need.

Just one.

I have found every other item imaginable.  

An old Uni essay based on the Brechtian aspects of ‘A Clockwork Orange.’

Miss E’s first pair of shoes.

The instructions to a microwave we binned about 10 year ago.

A stray carrot.

The annoying thing is, it should be easy to find.  It only arrived a week ago.  It came to my new address.  It should be on top of wherever it is, and there’s no chance I would have thrown it out…I hope.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There.

That feels better.

Ok, it doesn’t, I’m lying.  

Bugger.

    the black holes, they follow you. And the bigger the house, the bigger the hole. I know this for a fact. My house has swallowed a cat a time or two.

    Look for something else. Then it will pop back out of the Black Hole, wondering why the heck you were ignoring it.

    Works for me anyway… then I forget what the hell I was looking for the second time.

    Repeat.

    A stray carrot? hahahaha. Yeah, I live in a perpetual black hole, so I totally get this. Sigh. Scream a few more times and maybe you’ll feel better…

    Ok, I came home to almost 500 posts in my reader to try and read, which I am doing but not commenting. But I had to comment on at least one of yours to say hugs and I’m proud of your progress and I think you’re totally fab.

    Big big hugs.

    Yeah – just leave it for a day or two and everything will turn up where you least expect it.

    Is it in the fridge? I’m always finding my keys in there. Or underneath something? Pieces of paper have a nasty habit of wafting under kitchen kickboards. Oooh, I know, did you put it in that drawer of crap everyone has in their kitch? If so, was there so much crap in it that it’s been pushed out the back of the drawer into the cupboard underneath?
    God, I’m getting quite excited – it’s like a virtual treasure hunt…
