Sometimes I can't believe how silly I am. I went grocery shopping on Monday and so I was walking to my door with a bunch of grocery bags as well as the satchel I use to carry my lunch to work. The bags were cutting into my hands though, so I readjusted and then I thought I heard the sound of a plastic container (i.e. the tupperware I use to bring fruits to work) hitting the ground. It was dark, so I just quickly grabbed my satchel to make sure I could still feel the tupperware in there, and kept walking.
So then I went home and had dinner, including half a can of soup. This will be important later on.
Anyway, the next day, as I was packing my lunch I realized the tupperware was nowhere to be found in my house. It wasn't in the sink. It wasn't in the dishwasher. It wasn't on the floor. It wasn't in my satchel!
Luckily I had another container, pretty much identical, but a smaller size, so I could use that for the same purpose. But everyday this week, I searched the area where I thought I might have dropped it, but I couldn't find it. I even considered going to the leasing office and asking if they had a lost and found but I thought that, even if they did, the chance of someone bringing in a small tupperware container was pretty small -- they'd probably just throw it out.
This saddened me. In fact it made me realize I have an emotional connection to the darn thing. My mom would always pack fruits in it for me for work everyday, and now I'm packing fruits in it for myself for work. I dunno, it has memories and traditions attached to it or something. I felt like I missed it a lot more than what is normal.
So imagine my surprise when I was washing dishes tonight and I found, sitting in the sink, the tupperware! It was definitely the big tupperware, not its smaller sister that I've been using this week as a replacement. But I couldn't figure out why it was there!
Then I looked around and saw its lid next to the microwave and I realized -- I used it today to microwave soup! When I had half the soup can on Monday, I put the leftovers in the bigger tupperware (to be safe -- I didn't want it to flow over) and put that container in the fridge -- and then promptly forgot I had done it, and never once this week connected my missing tupperware with the leftover soup in the fridge.
I am so silly.
Anyway, unrelated but I have to do one last post about the Final Fantasy landcomm. For anyone on my flist that was interested in the Final Fantasy landcomm:
