I lost my..................

Cell phone. I don't know how, but it was driving me crazy. I know I had it on Thursday because I went to the rynek and took the pictures of the decorations there. After that, I came back home, loaded the pictures from my camera or telephone into my computer, and set the pictures up for my blog. In the evening, I had the phone with me when I went to bed and when I woke up Friday morning.

Friday morning, as I was changing Joan, the alarm went off, I took the phone, put it on the windowsill, and turned off the alarm. That was the last time I remember doing anything with the phone. The only place we went during the day was to Sowa's, and then we returned home.

On Saturday in the afternoon, we went to Cafe Lokum for coffee, and I thought it was without my phone.

That evening, I had to verify a new password by receiving an SMS on my telephone. When I looked for my telephone, I couldn't find it anywhere. I must have searched the house three times, and my car twice. I used Joan's telephone to call my telephone, and I heard it ringing in her telephone, but there was no sound coming from mine. That worried me a lot.

This morning, I woke up early and went to Sowa's as soon as they were open, 9:00. I asked him if they had a phone in their lost and found box, but they searched, and there was nothing there. My last hope was Cafe Lokum, and if I didn't find it, I was going to buy another phone.

Cafe Lokum doesn't open until noon, so I waited until 1:00, and took John with me when I left. I was about 70% sure they would not have my phone. I walked into the cafe up to the service counter, and started to tell the man there that I was here yesterday, but before I could finish my sentence, he said he knew I was there for my phone. He turned around, and next to the cash register, my phone was waiting. I can't express how relieved I was to have my phone back.

For me, the only real importance of having it is to stay connected with the caregiver when I am not at home for 3 hours. If something should go wrong, and she needed me, my phone would be the lifeline between us. Of course, the secondary reason is, if I have some problem with John at home and needed to call an ambulance, I would need a phone to do that.

So that's how my last 2 days have been. Stressful most of the time, but in the end, very jubilant.
