So it finally happened...last week (1 week before SteemFest3), after about a year of using my prized Steemit Water Bottle (that I obtained while at SteemFest²), the dreaded day occurred...
Normally, I wouldn’t really give a shit about a water bottle, however, this particular Steemit Water Bottle has some sentimental value to me. I had such an amazing and memorable time at SF2 and it reminds of that experience, as well as of all the awesome people I met from the community. Seeing the bottle also seems to remind me to stay focused and persistent in moving towards my great ambitions for Steem!
I figured that I had probably left it at one of the many dance schools I frequently work at, or, maybe at my parents place the last time that I visited them (last week).
So....All week I ran around searching dance studios and associates lost and founds (some of which are soooo gross btw) desperately trying to recover my prized possession. Even today, I re-checked & re-checked dance studios with zero success! I even went as far as to ask girls to check the ladies change room lost and founds & then finally...well I stole a replacement bottle from one of the communal lost and founds as a substitute bottle for the time being lol. I know so low of me....
And when I got home today, after recounting every possible place that I could have left it... I finally figured it out!
It was at my house the whole time of course lol.. Hidden away in a place that I would not normally have stored it. In a gig bag between a tambourine and lyric binder...
I’ll admit, when I found it, I may have also hugged it....
In any case, I got her back safe and sound and I feel kinda relived... It would have been a shame to let that momento disappear in such a lame way don't you think?
Now I have 2 water bottles tho...
