    Some years ago, I lost a drawing notebook full of sketches I’d done over a few years. Dunno if that counts as ‘valuables’?

    I’m 99% sure it’s somewhere at home, but either way I’d really like that back.

        The last time I was pleasantly surprised to find something somewhere, I was looking through store shelves and found an old food I used to like, toaster muffins.

    Oh, I found such a thing three different times, yesterday! In a county office, an employee patiently, compassionately, happily helping an elderly lady with paperwork; at a takeout restaurant, a genuinely happy individual who graced me with a smile that would shame the sun, in it’s glory, an authentic wish for a great day and a hug, at another business, another absolutely fabulous smile from a spry elderly lady with the most brilliant gray hair.

      I’ve got a pair of vice grips somewhere in my flat.

      It’s not even that big of a flat, and I don’t even have that much stuff. There’s no way I ever left the flat with them. Yet they’ve completely disappeared.

      Weird little drinking related story about finding my glasses from my college times: Got accepted for a PhD and wanted to party. Met a good friend and went to a Balkans party with loads of cheap booze. Wake up at 6am in a night bus out of town and can’t find my wallet on me. Run like crazy to the club/bar where the party was. Last people there let me search for my wallet. Only find my glasses in the bar toilet that I didn’t notice I had also lost. Lock credit card and go home happy that I at least found my glasses.
