where is it?

today i played Hollow Knight for a fair few hours. i'm enjoying it so far! i really like the aesthetic and the exploration aspect. i'm slowly getting better at combat, but i'm still pretty clumsy with platforming. stop judging me, little brother! i grew up on PC games!

(how long have i been playing Civilization? well, today i found an ancient note in which ~5 yr old me spelled it "civelazation")

yesterday i mentioned i wasn't sure where my current bullet journal had wandered off to

at the time i was still half suspecting it was buried somewhere in the detritus of my computer desk in the front room (where i spend most of my time), but i have now cleaned it (most of it; i'll do the rest tomorrow, but it's already mostly clean anyhow) and it is nowhere to be seen. this means it is probably hiding in my room somewhere instead, but 1) i did at least two-thirds-heartedly look around in there and didn't see it, 2) i recently reorganized the books in my room with a friend's help, so that's one less place it could be hiding (the bookstacks, that is.)

also missing, it turns out, is my most recent sketchbook. i don't think i drew in it more than two or three times before misplacing it, which is why i forgot it was gone. & it's much bigger than the missing bullet journal, so it's also a little more confusing. i've only noticed these disappearances this week but they likely have been out of sight for a few months.

ideas:

• both of them could be in my room, just in the depths of my desk/drawers/somewhere else weird and cluttered
• the sketchbook might have accidentally been taken by my sister (or put in her room by a parent)
• either could have been misplaced in one of the family vehicles
• ???

ETA 1.5 HRS LATER: i walked in my room, glanced around, and thought “huh, i wonder if they’re in my old lumberjanes messenger bag that’s sitting next to the door?” and there they were. now i can properly hem and haw over whether to complete this bullet journal or shelve it and start the next one. (apparently it’s been nearly 8 months since i last bujo’d >.<)

anyone else lost anything recently?
