Found It!

Last December , I received an updated credit card.  New expiration date.  But since the old one was still good, I set it aside where I couldn't lose it.  I lost it. 

I knew it was in the house.  So it wasn't a matter of someone else finding it.  When the old one expired, I went nuts trying to find the new one.  You know, searching every coat pocket, looking under every stack of stuff, under the furniture, etc.  So I used the number where I didn't need to show the card.  Online, for recurring automatic payments, etc.

I found it today!  I was making holiday cards and lifted my pack of cardstock in the file cabinet drawer.  There it was...  I just stared for a moment, but that was exactly the kind of place I would have expected to EVENTUALLY find it.

Isn't it nice to have a year-long mystery solved?
