Of All The Things I Have Ever Lost, I Miss My Mind The Most

That has become my favorite saying of late.  And that is assuming there was a mind to lose.

We have frequent power outages.  We have these nice big lanterns to use for these frequent outages.  When turned on, they are bright enough that I can read or work a Sudoku puzzle.  They require D batteries.  We buy D batteries at PriceSmart in a box of a dozen or so.  We never, ever allow ourselves to run out of batteries.

While Matt and Nicole were here, one evening the power went out.  Nothing new, but we really needed light with Haley here.  Both lanterns had dead batteries.  We looked and looked for the batteries, both of us claiming we knew there were some here.

Thankfully, the lights did not stay off long.  We bought some cheap batteries the next day just so we would have some until we could get to PriceSmart.

Tonight Marc got a glass and walked over to get a drink of water.  And there were the batteries.  Not only were they in plain sight, but I get water several times a day and Marc gets water more than once a day. 

What a stupid place for batteries, in plain sight, right by the water jug.
