I'm so frustrated with myself. No clue when was the last time I've seen this thing (wallet of crochet hooks). Yesterday I searched every project bag, every bag of my yarn stash, every drawer, nook and cranny where I might have put it absent-mindedly. I just went through them all again today. I have memories of seeing it on the breakfast table, on my desk (where the cat tried to annihilate the decorative tassle on its zipper), and in a project bag. I've moved it somewhere. I want to start a new project but need a hook of unusual size that is in the wallet. I haven't been motivated to crochet in a while, and I caught a spark over the weekend by finishing up another project. Blegh. Fuck.

Thank you for reading my rant while I wallow in self-loathing.

P.S. This thing is neon fucking pink and bigger than a paperback book. I must have a forgotten project bag smushed into a closet or left out in the camper. I thought I accounted for all my half-started projects though.

A few weeks ago I hid my backup drive behind a picture frame. "This is a great hiding place", I thought. Took me a week to find it.

I find that intentionally trying to hide things just makes this occurence 10x as likely.

Just password protect it and leave it where it's convenient. I would hope that you aren't in a situation where getting robbed is likely.

If you really want to hide it, in a place your really won't lose it, put it inside another computer, and leave it disconnected
