I've Lost My Kindle

         I might as well say I've lost a whole bookcase. It's not just the tool, the Kindle itself, that bothers me. It's all those books I downloaded. The only place I would have carried it would be in my purse to a doctor's office. I've been to a lot of doctor's offices with my father in the last few months. None of them claim to have found a Kindle.

         I've searched both his car and mine. I only use the one purse, and it's been emptied several times. I've gone through lunch bags, reusable grocery bags, my choir book bag and can't find it. I've gone through all my dresser drawers more than once. I emptied the closet and repacked it. I thought maybe I put it up before children came to visit and forgot where I put it. But the search has been in vain. I've even looked under the beds, and turned the recliner where I like to sit upside down. It's not wedged in the sides.

         I found a lot of other interesting things, but not the Kindle. For a while I thought I really had gone bonkers. I was missing my I-pod and a Larabar. But I found the I-pod exactly where it should be, under excess cords.

         So now we have the most evident downfall of a Kindle or e-book. It's thinner than a regular book. And when you lose it, you lose a whole library. And no one who finds it is going to turn it in. (Wouldn't mind finding that Larabar. It costs a dollar and a half.)
