It’s been days now that I’ve been looking for my wedding ring. M0rn1ng said it will show up when we least expect it. I am 100% sure that it is just misplaced here in our house. I hang it where we usually hang our watches, near the phone. Last Thursday, I put it there along with my earrings. Friday morning, it was gone along with the earrings. I found the earrings inside a paper bag. Looks like our little boy played with these and we couldn’t find it anymore.

So I’m using my engagement ring again. I missed wearing it. M0rn1ng got me one of those nice engagement rings and it really fits my ring finger well. Oh well, this will do for now. I hope we can find my missing wedding ring soon.
