Where's Wallet?

[livingdeb]

I often misplace things for a while, but this is starting to get very old.

Last seen: New Year's Eve lunch when I got some stamps out of it to give someone.

Noticed missing: a couple of days later, I noticed my purse was too roomy, and the reason was that there was no wallet in there.

Where it isn't:
* purse
* backpack
* pockets of coats
* pockets of jackets
* restaurant where I last noticed having a wallet
* my car
* Robin's truck
* anywhere near my desk, in my desk, or on my desk, where I often pull out my wallet to keep things updated
* anywhere near the front door, where I often set things down when I come in
* in the bag with the dance shoes I wore that night
* anywhere in the closet where I store that bag
* anywhere on or near my dresser
* under the bed
* inside my sewing kit or with the things I was working on at the craft party the next day
* anywhere at work
* in the couch cushions or under the couch

No one has called me to report finding it. No one has started illicitly using the credit cards that were in there. I've got to have put it someplace stupid.

A superstitious part of me thought that when I bought a purse big enough to be roomy even with my wallet (making a place for it in my life), then it would appear. But no.

Am I really going to have to report the credit cards lost, get replacements, update all the places where I make automatic payments with those credit cards, replace my store rewards cards, replace my work ID again (I just did it a week before I lost my wallet), get more stamps, not to mention a new wallet, and just give up on ever seeing the cash and free passes and receipts again before it magically reappears? Can't it just reappear now? Pretty please?

I've put off buying things I normally buy with credit cards, but I'm going to run out of gas soon. The superstitious part of me thinks that if I start using my debit card for these things, then my wallet will immediately appear, thus making me feel stupid for not having waited just a little bit longer. That would be a more fun way to be annoyed than to replace everything first. I'm going to go get some gas now.

Perhaps it's at D's house or the place where you went dancing that night? There might be a lost and found at the building that hosted the dance. I haven't seen it here. I totally empathize--been turning my house upside down looking for last year's sales book, as my sales tax is due, and I can only find 2 of the 4. Good luck with your search! I once lost my wallet for nearly a year, because I had put it 'somewhere safe' to keep a thieving 'friend' from stealing it. Of course, it was the longest I ever managed to hold onto 20 bucks throughout my childhood!
