I always keep the remote to the television with me in bed so I can raise and/or lower the volume or change the channel. It's not a small remote either. But, when I got up this morning it was nowhere to be found. And I looked everywhere.....even places that were ridiculous but you know how it is when you're determined to find something.......

I stripped the bed - it was time to launder the sheets anyway - it wasn't there. I looked under the bed. Not there. Looked again with a flashlight. Still not there.

I looked in every single other room of the house.

It's disappeared. If the television were on a channel I liked it would be different. But I don't even know how to change the channel without the remote!

Where in the world could that remote be???
