So my mom made me a set of earrings and a matching necklace for my birthday but due to time and stuff, I didn't actually get them from her until yesterday, in the pass-off of meds and such.

I put the earrings in and at one point realized the back of one had just fallen off but I found it right in my shirt - I'd been messing with the earrings. The backs don't lock on very well.

I still opted to sleep in them to see how they would do - sometimes the posts are too long and bother me.

They were fine. And then after my shower I realized I was missing one! I've looked in the bathroom, the bed, not finding it. The realistic option is that I managed to pull it loose while I was toweling off my hair in the tub.

The catch drain on the tub has smallish holes and the earrings are rather big stone-wise so I thought that maybe it couldn't have gond down there, so i took my other earring...

yeah. Now i know where at least ONE of them is.

I'm so very upset - I picked those stones and they were a gift and now they're BOTH gone.

I've a call into Roy for advice on getting into the drain without making things worse, but I'm so mad at myself!!!
