Trent says our Weekly Smile can be anything, large or small, and mine is pretty darned small this week. Sometimes I don’t even participate because I have nothing to say and that’s not because I’m sad; it’s cuz my days are samey same, no highs or lows, and that’s how I like them. I hate surprises and I don’t crave adventure or excitement. It’s all too stressful.
Anyway, last week I lost a sock in the laundry, which made me upset. First, I can’t stand misplacing things. It drives me crazy. Second, I hate the thought of being one of those sloppy people who leave things behind in dryers (cue Revenge of the Lost). But I unfolded and shook out all my clean clothes and no sock. To top off the misery, it wasn’t just any old boring sock, but a rainbow kitty sock.
I was resigned to this tragedy of epic proportions, determined somehow to slog on like the trooper I am. I suppose I’ve survived worse things. Once I made a carrot cake for game night and it didn’t get done in the middle ~ that was pretty terrible. But still! There are always more carrot cakes… what was I supposed to tell the sock waiting patiently for her mate? Just gone out for a walk, no worries. He’ll be back! She was getting suspicious.
But then Monday morning I was leaving for work, glanced into the laundry room, and what did I see? The rainbow kitty sock just lying there on the bench as casual as you please! Hey wassup? I grabbed him and stuck him in my purse. Yayyy!!!!! πππ
Symmetry is restored.
Phew! A disaster averted. I hate it too when you put two socks in the laundry and only one comes out.

Kitty socks are always so cute, and I have a few of them. Cute kitty sock on a cute little kitty, is even better! π

My theory: cats normally have access to portals to that other dimension where the socks go, and your kitty obviously went and got it for you.

This was a really fun read and I am glad you found that Laurel Burch sock I love her artistry! I found a way to never lose socks again–get a big sipper linen bag you use for delicates, put your socks in it, wash & dry your socks and never lose another one again! You can find one at Target! π β€
