Wish this year would hurry up and end!

What else can go wrong this year? I've lost my job, lost a friend temporarily through illness, lost the election, and now I've lost my bloody mobile phone! GRRRRRRRRRRR..Yesterday (Wednesday) I spent the morning and early afternoon with our frail and aged activity group, and immediately following that, I took another elderly friend to the Austin Hospital to get the results of some tests. We sat in the Outpatients waiting room from 3.30 to 4.30 pm before seeing the specialist (with whom we spent about five minutes). Then we came home, and it was then I discovered my phone was missing from my bag. So it has to be either at the Community Health Centre (and fortunately there is only one room where it could be) or the Outpatients clinic at the hospital. The hospital security staff told me to call back on Thursday, because if the cleaners find it overnight, they'll hand it in to Security. I asked if they ever find mobiles and the guy sighed and said "They find EVERYTHING"...

Telstra have barred outgoing calls on my phone, but not incoming, so I've been ringing the number to see if anyone answers it, but it just rings out, so it is obviously lying on the floor somewhere in a deserted office - until 8 or 9 am this morning! Ken's old mobile phone is the same model as mine, and he still has it, so I'm taking that to our local Telstra shop where they will give me a new SIM card with my original phone number. I didn't think I'd get my number back, but apparently they can do it. So take heed - don't throw your old mobile phone out - you might need it one day!
