Well, that is one problem I do not have. My wonderful, beautiful wife of 45 years meticulously searches my pockets before washing my anything, and nothing has ever gone into the washing machine.
I am indeed blessed.
I often set things down unconsciously, or place them somewhere to pick up later, and either stumble across them in time, or after much thinking trying to remember (works enough that I must not have Altzheimer’s), or just keep praying.......
As Conscious said in the fortune cookie,you will find what you lost at the last place you look.
