Much love to shrift send her dad.
Oh Laura, I am so sorry about your brother. And everything else.
When I worked in costumes with student wardrobe workers, I had an actual lesson to teach them how to find things for actors, rather than coming to me to find it! And I lose everything! But somehow I was the only person who could find a belt when it dropped on the floor.
Sometimes it's not just organizational skills, it's the patience to work within a system and not blow up at customer service, or give up on phone trees or hold times, or wonky websites.
I'm far from the most organized, but I can keep zen in case of bureaucracy.
Oh, Laura, I'm sorry your brother has gone that far down that rabbit hole. How sad.
With the costume loss thing, it is mostly panic Keeping people from being rational. . So my lesson is that if you can't find it right away is to get a substitute to take down the panic, and then look methodically. And 95% of the time the item is actually right there On the floor , put behind someone else's name, or in the dryer.
I was looking at cabins on VRBO today. Not sure a vacation anywhere except by car.
I just finally found the spare batteries for my water bottle in a place I had checked at least 3 times before today so I'm guessing even if one of y'all were able to tell me where to look it wouldn't have helped
ETA In case I ask in 3-4 months, they are in the little basket by the front door with the other spare batteries. WHERE THEY SHOULD BE
Why do you have a battery powered water bottle?!
Does this have to do with electrolytes? Do you just like a little shock against your lips when you sip?
I think the water bottle has wheels and drives around following -t wherever she goes so that she stays hydrated.
Why do you have a battery powered water bottle?!
I must echo this sentiment. Maybe it transmits via Bluetooth how much you drink?
It's got a sensor to track how much water I've drunk and a light that flashes to remind to take a drink if I haven't in a while. And bluetooth to tell my phone. And throws a little light show party when I make my goal for the day. It's freaking ridiculous but it really has upped my hydration game. I'm kind of dependent on it at this point. [link]
ETA no wheels but it will track it's own location so if I leave it somewhere I have half a chance of finding it again
