Last week I lost Michelle. Again.
Ironically, I worried as I searched for her that she might not know where I was, either.
I decided to fetch a load of wood from the Blow Down to add to the wood shed. I went out to pick up my back board. On my way, I saw Michelle near the shed. We waved to each other, I grabbed my back board, then turned around to tell her where I intended to go. She had disappeared. I decided that, since she saw me reaching for the back board, she knew I intended to cross the ridge, so I didn’t track her down to tell her specifically.
When I returned to the compound, I looked for her in the garden and the cabin, but couldn’t find her.
