Finding Stuff You Lost

Oh my goodness. Four things. FOUR THINGS I found!

Things 1 and 2. You know how you buy a pair of airpods, and then maybe you lose the holder? And you turn the house upside down to find the holder? Now you have the holder, but you can no longer remember which pocket the airpods are in. And that lasts a long time. So long, that now you have to give up because it’s been a couple months. So you just suck it up and replace them. This time for good.

Then you reach into the pocket of last year’s spring jacket and POOF! The first pair of airpods! YES! Okay so now you have two pairs of airpods, but only one holder/charger. No problem.

After a certain period of time (especiallly if you have ADHD), you have three holder/charger/thingies, and no airpods whatsoever. You decide you’re not replacing them anymore because you just don’t deserve nice things.

That’s where I was about four days ago. And then it happened.
1. I opened an old glasses case that I was going to throw away. (Pair #1 of airpods found!)
2. A day later, I reached into one of Elena’s jackets that I must’ve worn some time ago. (Pair #2 of airpods found!)
