ive been living out of suitcases for so long i feel like ive lost several important items.

because the house is upside down from painters and renovators, i am also predicting that these items - whatever they may end up being - probably wont be unearthed for a great many weeks after ive left.

my next prediction is that at least a small number of aforementioned important but possibly lost items will, in fact, never turn up; having been left inside drawers of units removed from the house, or given away to workers for their own abodes.

my final prediction is that i will spend at least a few hours feeling physical anger and frustration toward myself once i register that these items might possibly never find their way to me, largely due to my own inability to keep things in order. i will most likely smack my own forehead with the palm of my hand a number of times. its a wonder ive gotten this far in life with about as much organisational skill as danny bonaduce in the partridge family. it often seems otherwise, but im pretty sure most of the time im faking it.
