> [@OpalCat](#): > > I went to a book club meeting at a cafe tonight about 20 minutes from here. Never been there before. When I got home I couldn’t find my Kindle. I think I left it there. I didn’t realize this until after they were closed. Now I’m kind of freaking out. I will call tomorrow and hopefully they have it. I hope nobody stole it. > > I need my Kindle! How will I fall asleep without it!? I can’t even read a regular book as they’re all boxed up since our house doesn’t have enough room for bookcases ☹ > > Cross your fingers for me guys! I’m constantly afraid I’m going to lose my Kindle for good. I’ve left it twice in a restaurant, once at the cleaners, once on a park bench, and once at the gym. Thank goodness I remembered quickly enough to have retrieved it before it found a new owner. ---

Glad you got it back! Now where are my pillowcases? I did all the bedding laundry on Saturday and when I went to make the bed, the pillowcases were both missing. How the heck does that happen? ---
