Amazing what you can find

When you CLEAN stuff, you often find things. Today, I found something I've been missing terribly for over a month. The friend that borrowed our wet/dry vacuum returned it to us finally, now that the work is almost done on the rental he's fixing so it can be sold. Since he put it in the back of my van, I figured, I should vacuum my van out before taking the wet/dry vacuum back into the house. So, late this morning I went outside in this unseasonably warm weather we have till the last cold snap in March arrives, and cleaned out my van. In the process of getting all the junk out of my van that has accumulated in there since before becoming impregnated, I found my long lost item that has been driving me batty to drive without them.

Behold, the sunglasses that I grew to love for so many reasons. It took me a week or so to get used to driving with them because they're polarized versus the tinted lenses in the other pair I have. I had to use my old ones that are part metal, part plastic, and get tangled in my hair when I put them on my head. I was ripping hairs out of my head for no good reason! I seriously dislike my hair being pulled for any reason. Single hairs being plucked with force are incredibly painful. So, that problem now solved, I need something else found.

I track my mileage for my taxes, and I spaced out last year and never tracked any of it in a spreadsheet. It's all in my datebook. Yep, you guessed it. I can't find it. I apparently filed it or stashed it someplace "safe" or something. It's so safe, I can't remember where it was put. Nor can I find any logical or illogical place that it can be found. Plus the Oldest moved some stuff off the scanner to scan a picture he drew, and now some additional tax information can't be located. I've pestered St. Anthony numerous times already.

I guess I need to just keep cleaning. You know, because gestating just isn't enough for me to do these days.
