gaps of memory

i lost my toe ring.

i loved my toe ring, and wore it basically nonstop for more than a dozen years. but i'm more concerned that i have absolutely no idea when i lost it. that's the problem- it's not like it's easy to misplace a toe ring. in fact, it's damn hard to take it off, and i have absolutely no recollection of doing so. there's no way that it would have just fallen off, so i'm left wondering what the hell happened, and when did it happen. who knows what i did while i was 'sleeping' on those terrible sleeping pills? it was such a part of my everyday life that i can't even remember the last time it really caught my attention, and i can't even be sure when i last had it. who doesn't remember losing a piece of jewelry that needs to be pried off a filangee?

even more worrisome, if i can't figure out when i lost something that takes a supreme amout of effort to lose, what else have i been overlooking? yikes.
