needle in a haystack

Last night I cruelly dreamed that I found my pen drive in my purse where it should have been all along. So of course I double checked as soon as I woke up and no, it's not there. Maybe it was a metaphor instead about having what I need after all. In real life, where I'm not about to meet the queen from her yellow limo in my daughter's slippers (why?!) I will need to tell my boss. As it contains no patient data, I shouldn't be fined the £250,000, but I still feel v stressed about the whole thing. I've not had time to make a thorough search – and it feels so impossible – it is so small and my clutter is so large! And it could be anywhere – do I start ringing all the places I've been to in the last few weeks? I'll ask my boss today. And because it has no label on it (kick myself much?) no-one is going to just return it – I will have to do the hunting all by myself.
So “it's all down to me”, not having done well enough, big responsibility and being overwhelmed, all in one lost pen drive. All my buttons at once – no wonder I'm stressed!!! So to counter it, I will share my concern today, remind myself of how lovely I am, and make time to take small steps to keep searching... Hope you also get to enjoy life's lessons too - no beating up allowed!!
