Note: I always keep my wallet in my back right pocket.

So, last week when I got home from the store I was getting the groceries out of the car.  My right hand was full, when I noticed I had left my wallet on the seat.  So I grabbed it with my left hand and put it my back left pocket. (I did this without really thinking about it.)  I then went inside and unloaded all of my groceries and threw my keys on the counter.  Then I went to reach for my wallet (in it's normal place) and of course it wasn't there.

Somehow I had completely forgotten that I put in my other pocket.  I then proceeded to go outside and basically tear apart my car looking for it.  Rooted through the console, the glovebox, looked under the seats.  I even went back inside to grab a flashlight to look all around and underneath the car.  Of course I found nothing.

I retraced my steps back into the house and looked all over the counter.  I even took the grocery bags out of the trash to make sure I hadn't drop it in one of them.  At this point I was equal parts pissed off and panicking.  I was about 10 seconds away from getting on the computer and putting a hold on my credit cards.  Then it happened.

I sat down on the couch to have a beer to calm down.  That's when I noticed my wallet was in my other pocket the entire time.  I just spent probably 20 minutes freaking out about my wallet because I totally spaced out on putting somewhere where it never goes.

I'm not sure whether to laugh it off or to start researching early Dementia signs.

Once again,

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF BEER!!!:hail:
