Seriously I feel for you and hope you find your notes.
And no I don't mean those cute little Instant Graemlins here, I mean the mischievous cousins that have plagued me as much as entertained me for many years. No, really, it's either believe in them or admit I'm insane
My best (worse?) case for it was a day I was working on some assignment, Physics I think. Anyway I needed to rest my eyes and stretch my back so I put down my stuff, closed my eyes and stretched back in my chair for a few seconds. Refreshed I reached for my pen and it was gone. Figured it had just rolled under one of the many papers or books piled on the desk so I looked. No luck, maybe the floor (but I'd have heard that), nope not there. Must be on the desk, thorough search, nothing! Must have missed it. Systematic removal and replacement of everything on the desk, not there! Impossible! About going crazy by now, and beyond the point of just getting another pen
Search of whole room, at least I was getting a good break from study, some 15 minutes, but still no pen! I give up, and sit down to cool off, and there on top of the stuff on the desk, the pen. For years before that and since I've had similar experiences. Items wandering off to reappear somewhere I don't recall leaving them, and nobody admitting to moving them, but this time threw me totally. I was alone in the house. I was alone in the room. I did not leave the room the whole time. I prefer to think it was gremlins though I suppose I could have dreamed the whole thing after falling asleep at the desk. That can comfort those who need rational explanations. Just know that I don't, ever, nod off.
Anyway, welcome to my little corner of the twilight zone
I hope my little story, true I swear, entertained more than worried anyone
Oh, and the rest of you suffering various ills, I wish you speedy recovery. All I got was a miserable virus over the holidays, Vegan Cold or something, nasty, not sure which friend is responsible but a couple of them had symptoms. I think it's run it's course but I'm still wiped out.
Oh well, the pay check will keep the medical insurance folks happy.
