Problem with house Fae. Maybe.....
So I might have finally tracked down the problem. I have been noticing that pairs of hand-knit socks have been getting lost over the past 2 years, since I moved into my current home.
It's not just one at a time either, it's complete washed pairs after I put them away. Most recently, it was two pairs of once. We did laundry a week ago and I air-dried the hand washed things, the next morning I folded them and put them away, all three pair of remaining ones. I was just packing to go on a trip, and I can't find my most comfortable pair now.
This brings the total lost pairs up to 5. I have one pair left.
This is ridiculous and super frustrating..... This is not the only thing that has disappeared, also my partner's confirmation cross will disappear sometimes for 8 or 9 months at a time. Decorative hair sticks don't last longer than a week or so, even though they're not worn.
I know that I have house fairies, generally I try to keep them well fed and respected. Having good house fairies as much like having good gut Flora: if you flush the entire system out, it puts the beneficial and the harmful on equal footing. That can cause increase conflict and discomfort.
At the same time, I want my comfy socks back! Any ideas?
Anyway, *hugs* stay safe
