Thank You, St. Anthony!

Doing laundry this morning, I dropped the cap of the liquid detergent into the washing machine. Grrrrrr.......

Being short and thus unable to reach the bottom of the machine, I used a dowel rod to drag the cap, haul it high enough to grab hold of it. YES! SUCCESS!

And then I saw it....bright blue, peeking out from under the agitator.....and gasped!

It was the flash drive I had lost last week....the flash drive belonging to my employer....the flash drive with an entire hard drive's worth of documents on it.

Immediate contrition flooded me. I had prayed to St. Anthony to find it for me, and he knew I had to drop the detergent cap into the washing machine in order to see where the flash drive was hidden. Mea culpa.....All my growling and grumbling and complaining.....mea maxima culpa!

So, you are wondering, does a flash drive that's been through several loads of laundry still work?

I am letting it dry out for at least 24 hours before inserting it into my computer.

Stay tuned!

And do what your mother always told you to do: CHECK ALL POCKETS BEFORE YOU PUT CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY!
