The Missing Computer Key

There are a couple of loose keys on my keyboard. I keep replacing them, and sometimes,  they stay a while, and sometimes, they do not. A couple of days ago, I noticed the page down button was missing, but I found it misplaced on the keyboard. I was not able to replace it properly on its setting. Sometimes, I get a good fit, sometimes, it is a wobbly fit.   I got a wobbly fit.

This evening when I sat down at the computer, I noticed the page down key was missing. Well, I looked around on the computer desk but there is lots of stuff piled on the desk. It could be hiding anywhere. I looked int he trash, but it was not there.  I suspect it is time to clean off the computer desk again. This generally only gets done out of necessity. 

I am not sure when this missing key happened. It might have been today, when a cat found a new toy. If that is the case, the  key could be anywhere. I can still use the function without the key. And, I discovered that at one time, when both the page up and page down keys were loose, I must have interchanged them.  Well these are keys I rarely use. When I started using the computer last night, it was in its wobbly place.

I will continue to keep an eye out for the missing key.  I have to wonder if it went missing last night, when Taki did a flying leap onto the computer desk, skated to a halt, and sent papers, books, pens and what have you flying. I am not sure how, but somehow, the missing key may have joined the menagerie of flying detritus.

I have done a precursory search.  Including looking under furniture. Well, sometime, it may show up. Or, it may not.   I can still use the function.
