I learned today that I may well be paying for the well-intended nesting phase I went through while pregnant. I'm currently applying to renew my United Kingdom visa. Much paperwork and documentation is involved, including sending in all passports, old and new. It is vital to have every piece.
Unfortunately, I couldn't locate my old passport - it was not in the space below the cupboard where I usually keep it. While looking, I realised I had a vague recollection of storing it away somewhere last winter in an effort to "reduce clutter." Clearly, the handiwork of a pregnant nester!
After ransacking my bedroom, office, and even nursery, I finally found the culprit. It was lodged between books in a plastic bag labelled "old passports." I'm sure that there must have been some logic in the place I chose, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember what it had been. And now I wonder - what other lost objects did our well-meaning pregnant nester hide, that are never to be seen again?
My advice: Don't give too much power to the nester.
