This is SO strange

Last night in preparation for the cold front that was forecasted to hit overnight, I gathered my warmest clothing so that all I had to do was slip it on to walk the dog.

Everything was in order and when I went to the closet to gather my winter boots, they were not there. I have my shoes organized according to seasons and they were not in with the winter shoes. A week ago they were. I have two pair of rain boots which I store next to each other and use the least liked to navigate mud, puddles, and rain. The pair I was looking for is left for running errands and cold, clear weather. They're Bare Traps and so warm and comfy.

I live alone and would like to think I'm organized so I know where everything is. No one other than I go in my closet. I looked and looked for them for about 45 minutes. Finally, I started at one end of the closet and took everything down and out - examining every bag, box, storage bag; however, why would I store them where they aren't in clear view for convenience sake? Plus they WERE there a few days ago!

Spent hours looking for them. Never found them. I can understand a small article of clothing being misplaced or covered up with something else, but boots? The imprint was still there where I had placed them in the shoe bag.

Baffled.

A Poltergeist has your boots.

They'll turn up someplace stupid like by the back door.

Do you drink, seriously? Even being tired or taking medication can cause folks to put things in strange places.

Did you decide to donate them?Maybe a burgler needed boots...ah the barefoot bandit!

I do not drink alone at home - or for that matter hardly ever. Last adult beverage was a week ago at a party and one in June at my friend's b/d party. Not on meds, either.

Know how you feel!

I was replacing hardware pulls, counted out the new ones, placed them in order making sure I had all fasteners & screws. I left it for the weekend, just the guest bedroom. When I started the project I couldn't find 3 pulls! I counted, emptied the trash, checked the shipping box! Nothing!

Wound up ordering replacements. UGH!!!!!!
