I just found the envelope of receipts for my taxes that I couldn't find this morning, on a different bookcase from the one on which I was looking.
The funny thing is that I spotted it after I got up to go to bed and turned off the living room light, and the only light in my apartment was from the kitchen, around the corner. Which means that I spotted the envelope in semi-darkness. An envelope which was, by the way, underneath the instructions for building an Aurora Award, my copy of Bending The Landscape: Original Gay And Lesbian Fantasy, the receipt from having my stereo repaired a couple of years ago and a YRT/VIVA system map.
*facepalm* *facepalm* *facepalm*
(It could have been worse - it could have been "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'")
