I know, it’s god dam laughable that I even care this much...

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...

I finally lost my precious water containment device!

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!

So... it stands to reason that when I misplaced my coveted bottle last week, I was definitely disappointed.

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....

However! I did not give up!!

And when I got home today, after recounting every possible place that I could have left it... I finally figured it out!

Yesss Motha Fuckas!

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...

Do you have any mundane material possessions that you would go crazy for if you lost em?
