In the “beyond the last place you’d look for it” department, I found my wife’s laptop. It disappeared during her last trip to renovate the old house, and she could not find it, any place she looked. I couldn’t find it either, until we had to re-do the floors and I had to move everything out of all the side rooms. Before I put everything back, I staged it into another room and started methodically going through every box. No dice. But then, while moving some of the spare suitcases we’d left here, I noticed one of them was strangely heavy. Huh. What’s this I feel in here? Could it be … a laptop?
So it turns out my wife apparently had used the above small suitcase to transport her laptop and all of its accoutrements (charger, case, etc) but … perhaps forgot that’s where she put it, in all the chaos of moving things from room A to B to paint stuff, only to move it from B to C to fix things, then from C back to A again. Regardless, it was in the wrong room, with the empty suitcases, so it doesn’t surprise me that it was hard to find. But I found it … by methodically searching every place, whether it made sense or not.
