curiouser and curiouser...

sometime early in the week my cell phone went AWOL.  i was pretty sure i brought it home from work in my pocket and from there i probably put it on the kitchen table or someplace in the bedroom.  i went looking for it thursday and checked all my slacks pockets in the laundry basket, under the bed, under other furniture, behind sewing tables, etc.  no cell phone.  today i went out in the hallway to wash/dry clothes.  when i went to check on the dryer, the door was open, my clothes were still wet and what do you think was there....right, the cell phone.  so, the cell phone is now kaput, obviously.  question is....how did it get in the dryer?  that is just one of the many mysteries at this complex.  the maintenance staff is top notch, the grounds are kept immaculate, driveways and parking lots plowed promptly, steps cleared for safety and the rent is affordable for our anemic income.  it's just things like this happen much too frequently; there's definitely a gremlin here someplace.  regarding the phone, i HOPE i brought it home from work.  what if it went missing while i was AT work?  that's another issue altogether, a fairly unpleasant one.  hmmm....a mystery indeed.
