So, late last week I went to the bank and took out a grand. It was intended to be spent on fixing my truck and helping out my grandparents, who are on a tight fixed income.
Some friends came by, we got baked.
Later, rambling through the house, I became concerned that one of the folks who was over earlier saw that I had a bank envelope (I purchased some medicine), so I hid the money in a 'safe place'.
Now, it's Tuesday. I've tossed my entire house multiple times and still can't find the cash.
I can get pretty damn creative when I'm stoned.
Too creative, it seems.
Ironically, in my searching I found my Cali drivers license, which has been missing for two years. It was in a 'safe' place.
Maybe two years from now I'll write to tell you about the awesome trip I just took because I found the missing cash.
I'd hire a dog, but he may find stuff I wish to remain hidden.
So frigging frustrating.

I've had friends who have lost entire summers, because they were baked the whole time. Good luck finding the cash.

You need to search for it while baked to the same toasty perfection. Just be sure to write yourself a note to look for it once you're in that space.

I found that I could think much more clearly too. Problem is I drink more now...

Remember...if the thing is still within the physical confines of your space, then technically it is not "lost".

Tried that last night for just that reason, nothing.
Second time's a charm, wish me luck.

Why did you hide your CA drivers license?
It was a backup ID when I was in Central America. Safely hidden.

OK, go to the bank, pull out another grand and put it in an envelope. Invite over the same bunch of friends, and this time get REALLY baked. See if the second envelope disappears.
Why is that you always find what you're looking for in the last place you look?
OK,
trick question.

An aside, It seems as if mental distraction is a major factor in all of this. I'm usually pretty clear headed, focused, able to remember sh#t, etc.
Now, it's as if the desire to retrieve the item usurps the process of looking back rationally and remembering every little detail from the past few days. My brain keeps returning to a select few places, places that I've checked numerous times.
I'm only in my thirties, the future looks grim. :)

The weed appears to be getting better. That's good, isn't it?

I do this occasionally. Instead of, or should I say after, you tear the crap out of everything, just stand there and try to recapture the state of mind. Kinda like looking for a lost computer file, try different pathways, look around at objects and gaze at them and let your mind go blank. If you can do this, you don't need to get baked, or hide stuff from "friends".

Well at least your wasting your time looking for something that has some real value; I can't say how many hours I've wasted looking for things like one missing sock after doing laundry just b/c I'm pissed at losing something. Real time suck.

LOL! I do that sort of thing uninfluenced.
Houseguests that inspire you to hide your valuables are a bad idea too.
