Losing my Keys



I keep losing my keys. Three times in three months. The first two times I was walking my dog and they fell out of my pocket when I pulled out the doggie bag. I was able to back track and find when they had fallen.


I added a key ring with some bright orange ribbon so if it happened again I would more easily see them. No luck. This time they seem to be really gone.


I only walked from my car parked around the corner to my house. I only had my purse and the clothes on my back. I've backtracked, checked pockets and reorganized. They are nowhere to be found.


I hate losing things. Plus now, because I had to make a copy of a key from a copy I can't open my trunk except from the latch inside my car. I told my son I was tempted to spray paint a hub cap bright pink and attach my keys to that. Instead I settled for a bright orange reusable stuffed grocery bag, a little plastic dog bone with my name and phone number and one of those coiled bracelet things that you can wear on your wrist. Maybe now I can keep track of them.


I'm sure there is some deep seated psychological reason for this continued loss but I'm choosing not to think about that.

  1. We always lose them! And be "we," I mean Sione. ;) (Though I lose mine "temporarily" quite a bit--but we seems to have a working system now. Knock on wood...) He's lost two complete sets of keys that we've never found...
