Lost my cell phone, or so I thought

So.

I left the house to do some errands this morning about an hour or so ago. Right when I was turning off my street, I remembered I had forgotten my phone. No worries I said, I don’t need it. Did my errands, and came home, put away the groceries, dry cleaning, etc. Then remembered to go check the phone in case I had missed any calls/texts. Of course, couldn’t find it where I usually put it upon going to bed (.i.e., the nightstand).

STARTED TO FREAK OUT.

Did I leave it at 5-guys last night as I was eating my burger??

MORE FREAKING OUT!

Remembered I had this app called “find my device”.

Turned it on, and, whew, the phone was in my general area (not miles away).

Having never used this before, I wasn’t sure how accurate or close it would point me.

Took the thing to the farther spot in the house, and then walked to the back of the house, and the two dots started getting closer, going from the sunporch to the MBR. Seems to be indicating it’s somewhere in the bedroom. I look in the bathroom, in the walk-in closet, and checked my pants pocket that I wore yesterday, the dots are getting closer and closer. I look under the bed, nope. I take a closer look on the nightstand and…

Felt very stupid.

I’d placed it face up on the black case of the iPad, and the black face of the phone had “melted” into the black case, causing me not to see it when I first looked there.

Shaking my head.

No. No calls or texts…

Lol
