Where Did It Go?

Yesterday I had a conundrum happen that I can't explain. I took my pill box (I'm an old person) out of the table next to my chair and set it on the kitchen counter. I took the pill I needed and I thought I left the pill box on the counter. Later in the evening I went to get it, to take my evening pills, and it wasn't there. I'm at a total loss because I have no idea where it went. My wife and I have searched the house and it's nowhere to be found. I don't have the foggiest idea what I did with it. Where did my pills go? I'd hoped that it would come to me during the evening or night, you know like a light bulb going on, but that didn't happen. I took out my other pill box and started using it, hoping that the other would be found.

We have person coming over in an hour to trim our Fruitless Mulberry tree. We have been hacking away at it for several weeks taking off enough to put into our trash and leave room for the house trash. It has gotten to the point we can't reach the branches left on the tree even with our extended poles. I don't feel comfortable getting up on a latter and trying to saw or cut the branches. What do you do when you can't get the job done? Hire someone!

We had a company come out and give us a bid on replacing our wooden privacy fence, and take away the old one. She quoted us an outrageous price, so we'll have to find another route. I'm sure there is someone out there who can do it for a price more reasonable. We'll keep looking.
