I am missing one giant scarf

How does one lose a giant scarf anyway?

Okay, I have enough junk now that it is near impossible to find much of anything. And there is a lot of yarn and several scarves about. But you would think that there are limited places that one could put a scarf that is over twenty feet long.

So how did I lose the damned thing?

After having problems with flooding and later with some mice, I have figured out that things I really do not want damaged have to be stored in plastic storage bins.

So what is the problem? Just look in the plastic bins.

The problem is that most of the bins are not clear plastic, or at least not clear enough that I can see what is inside them without opening the boxes. And we have like forty boxes.

That is, we have forty boxes that are 18 gallon size or larger. We have many other smaller boxes.

So I was quite certain that I knew where the giant scarf was, as I had several of the clear boxes under the bed, and I could see that they contained scarves, even if I could not make out which scarves in particular were there. And the underbed boxes are rather difficult to get at, and I tell to put stuff in them that I rarely need to take out.

Like giant scarves.

So today when I took these boxes out from under the bed, I was very surprised the particular scarf wasn't in one of them. And now I don't know where else it could be. I'm trying to look in the other boxes, but I have checked all of them that are convenient to get to. The ones that I haven't yet looked in are mostly the ones at the bottom of the stack, or behind another stack, or would otherwise require me moving something heavy, and I usually don't put anything in those boxes except for clay stuff, because they are so difficult to get to and the heavy stuff should go on the bottom.

I suppose that it could be someplace else. It could be in a regular cardboard box, if I thought to thoroughly wrap it in plastic and put it high up on a shelf. But I've checked most of those places too, and I can't think of what to do next.

I am really and truly, mind-numbingly disorganized.

I usually try and go with the traditional--where/when did you see it last?

I'm not sure. I know that I took it out and showed it off to my friends, but I am quite sure that I brought the thing home from that. I am not even sure when that was. But I was thinking that I packed it away when I packed away so many of my other scarves, and that was why I was thinking that it was under the bed.

Anyway, am I just having one of those days when I need someone else to be here and say, did you look in such in such place, or last time I saw it I think it was over there, and so forth. But there is no one else here to say those things, and I am pretty sure that I have already checked the places anyone else would have told me to look anyway.
