I have the books mostly tamed because I have several in progress at once and typically leave each one right where I’m reading it. I keep a pair of reading glasses at each location (take that, evil twin!). And I’ve taken to wearing my regular glasses on a cord around my neck. I don’t care how stupid it looks.
But I routinely have to search for my purse, my last prescription refills, and oddly placed grocery items, some of which I simply couldn’t have left where I ultimately found them. Sometimes I don’t actually locate the missing item until I’ve bought another one.
(Rem to self: Never use a credit card as a bookmark in a library book.)
So far I haven’t lost my car.
