I thought he was hiding and didn't notice his absense for a day or so, and then i remembered what i had done (but couldn't remember putting him back). It was a horrifying feeling.

Next time I'll wait until the following morning if i am that out-of-it, unless there are any urgent or pressing concerns.

Quarantine time is a good idea, but my back-up thermostat seems not to be working, and i haven't received my replacement yet. I'm out of ideas except to give him his own drawer in the rack for now.
