9/1: got my comforter stolen October 15, 2008

Here is the cat puke, soaking wet comforter story that you have all been waiting for:

Barney, my cat, is 16.  He ate some new food which didn’t agree with his stomach.  He immediately hurled all over our comforter.  As we live in a loft, this needed to be attended to immediately.  Unfortunately, our washing machine is too small to fit the gigantic comforter.

Luckily there is a laundromat right around the corner.  Brian takes the cat puke covered mess and starts it and tells me exactly where to go to get it.  Cut to a half hour later.  I am not doing anything except sitting on my butt, so I go over early to get the comforter.  I figure I can read a magazine or something.  I check machine #3.  There is stuff in there but it is certainly not our comforter.

I go to the desk and ask.  No English, but luckily, I know a decent amount of Spanish so I find out exactly no new information except that my comforter is not in this machine.  I check all the others and find nothing.  I am thinking that I must be in the wrong place because there is no way that the comforter would be even finished washing by this point.  Still, I check all around in dryers and at the folding station.  Nothing.

I remember that there is a laundromat across the street so I go there.  Nothing.  Absolutely no comforters to be found anywhere.  I call Brian and he is like, “Who would steal a soaking wet, old, cat puke covered comforter?”  My thoughts exactly.

"I threw up on the comforter."
