Missing items

A few things have gone missing over the past few weeks. First, a touque was gone. I couldn't find it, so I figured it must have fell out of my coat pocket or something. Sometime later, I was going to use a reusable shopping bag and discovered it was missing. Probably in the same place as the touque. Annoying, but oh well, nothing valuable. Then even more recently, I was going to use my thermal mug, and discovered it was missing too. Now it's serious. Not that it's worth a lot, but it was a nice memento, something that our graduating class ordered, with our logo on. I stepped up my search, but still nothing. With all the obvious choices taken care of, it was time to search all the nonsensical places, like maybe for some reason I put it behind the TV, or at the bottom of my basket of socks, but still no luck. Phoned a few places I'd been, even if I was confident I didn't leave it there. The mug especially, as it would only ever go between my home and my car. I had a cable guy and a plumber in at different points, one of them could have walked off with something, but it would make no sense for them to take those kinds of items. It just drives me nuts not knowing. I had a dream last night that I found it, but, the location doesn't exist in reality so I couldn't just wake up and go there and get it. Perhaps that's the answer. Perhaps my touque, shopping bag, and mug managed to slide into a nearby dimension during a moment of weakness in the fabric of space-time. At this point, it makes about as much sense as anything else.
