I Couldn’t Find It!

[1]

I hope your holidays were grand, spiffy, and really swell!  Mine were surprisingly okay, got several presents and all were… FOOD items. Hot Diggity Dog!

Had a fairly good time with family and friends over the holidays, ate lots of good food, and drank some holiday spirits, but…

something was missing…

something important…

something I really needed…

Have you ever found yourself looking for something but didn’t remember what it was that you were looking for?

Well I seemed to have misplaced something and have been looking for it for two weeks!  It’s been a daunting task to remember where I left it, or for that matter what it was that I was looking for in the first place!

I really hate it when that happens.  All I knew was I needed to find it because I have a Voice article due and it had something to do with that.

It wasn’t my computer, I knew where that was.  Not my coffee cup, smoking jacket, beer or my socks, all of those are here!

I have to find it!  It’s important!  I can’t do my article without it!  Damn!

Into the Caverns I go, my Cavernous Mind that is. That’s like jogging down Memory Lane for the rest of humanity; you know the drill, that’s when we try everything we can think of to “jog” our memory.

We go into each room and just stand there, turning our heads from side to side scoping everything in sight, hoping something will catch our eye and trigger some brain cells to get us on the right track… didn’t work!

I looked under the beds… nope not there.

I looked in all the closets… nope not there either.

I looked in the underwear drawer, kitchen cupboards, and even sat on the crapper for a half an hour, since that’s where I get most of my inspiration… no such luck!

No matter what room I go into there just are no clues as to what I’m looking for!  Damn the Caverns are empty, not even a hint!

Well maybe it’s not even here to begin with; hmmm perhaps I left it somewhere else… yeah that’s got to be it!

So off I go to visit friends and family, to the stores I frequent, pubs, anywhere I could have been in the last two weeks, hoping something, anything would cause a spark to light up the Caverns and give me hope that this hellish nightmare would end!

Then it happened… it was like a slap to the ole grey matter… I remembered WHAT it was I was looking for!  Now I just have to find it, and find it fast, press time is closing in on me quickly!

Where… oh where could it be?  Damn I’m in trouble!

Exhausted, brain tired, and totally frustrated I had to concede that I wasn’t going to find it in time to get this article written, the editors are going to be pissed!

So let that be a lesson to all of you… NEVER… EVER lose your sense of humor, it can be hell trying to find it again!
