Ummmm...I found my coat!
After losing my beautiful (read: functional and loved) waterproof zip-shell Columbia in October and receiving a new raincoat for my birthday last month, the Columbia returned.
I was working at the group home (for the last time before Costa Rica! hurrah!), bonding with one of the few good staff there by cataloging all the things I have lost this year, when Kaluna, the wonderful woman listening so graciously, stopped me.
-Wait. What color was it?
-Light blue.
-What kind?
-Uh, Columbia I think. (Offhand, in an embarrassed kind of way. Nobody at this job is exactly rolling in dough, and here I am misplacing a fairly expensive article of clothing).
-Wait! Wait just a minute. (Goes to a closet I didn't know existed and pulls out...my Coat!)
Back in October when I asked Brooke, the new supervisor, about the coat in reference to the lost&found location, she wished me luck and told me someone had probably stolen it.
Apparently Kaluna came across it when she was looking for a coat for a resident, but she knew it didn't belong to any of them because there was no name plastered in permanent marker across the tag. There it was, hung in the closet, and it even looked like someone had thrown it into one of the six million loads of wash we do every day. The wolf pin I found on the beach this summer is still attached.
Stolen indeed.
New Year's Resolution: sew my name into all my clothes, in order to assist the goodwilled people of the world in returning my things when I lose them.
