One of the most intensely frustrating things about having a messed up room is that things tend to get eaten by it.
At the moment, I'm tearing up my room looking for The Sims: Livin' Large. Given that I just ordered the next Sims add-on, I'm going to want to reinstall everything from the beginning just so I can be certain it'll work right. In order to do that, I need Livin' Large...but at the moment, I have no idea where it is. I found The Sims and House Party...but L.L. eludes me. And the worst of it is, I have no idea where it might be--it's been months since I last Simmed, and the possibilities are driving me crazy.
Is it mixed in with my other games, though I've already been through them all twice and not found anything?
Is it under or behind my bureau? Or in one of the drawers, covered by clothing?
Is it under my bed?
Did it somehow manage to fall off my kitchenette counter into the space behind the stove?
Did it work its way into some hidden position under my VCR?
Is it on my overcluttered bookshelf?
I'm going to have to check and recheck all those places...and for all I know, I still may not find it.
It's the kind of worry that eats at my mind...and I won't be over it until I find the darned disc.
Back to the search grind, I guess. I'll rummage for another hour, then try to clean up the mess I've made in cleaning so I can go to bed. And search some more tomorrow.
No rest for the wicked...and not a lot of satisfaction, either. :(
