After having been missing for nearly a year, I found my MacBook Pro keyboard protector the other day. It’s a rectangle of soft cloth that just barely covers the keyboard when you close the MBP lid — it protects the screen from getting an imprint of the keyboard. It’s small, light, and easily misplaced.
I suspect that it was off seeing the world, sowing its wild oats, getting into trouble, etc. (perhaps a mid-life crisis?). Or perhaps it was off wherever socks go. Maybe it didn’t like the fruity drinks wherever it went.
Shrug.
Regardless, it’s home now. We’ve reconciled, and have mostly moved on beyond this incident (although the “rebuilding trust” therapy will continue for a while).
