weirdness du jour

jaeclecticI had a moment today where I looked at the little piece of stained glass that's hanging on the window in my bedroom, and because I'm thinking about moving, and thinking about the particular space that I may or may not be moving into, I started pondering where in that space I might put not only this particular little suncatcher, but the other stained glass pieces that I still own -- I used to have a much larger number, but gave quite a few away when I left PA.
And then I had this odd feeling, and I went to look at my favorite, the largest piece, and it wasn't there.
And then I thought, it must have fallen, and I looked behind the short bookcases underneath where it was hanging, but there was nothing there. And then I thought, what if it fell when the window was open. And I opened the window, which tilts inward, and thought, "yeah, if it fell, it could theoretically slide right out and smash to the ground, perhaps without doing any damage along the way". But of course there's no broken glass down there now...
But it's been cold, and I haven't had the windows open much, so assuming that's what happened, it could have been months ago. For context, in my current space, there wasn't any good way to hang the piece near eye level, so it had been hanging near the top of the large window in the living room -- not a place where I would really be looking at it every day, or very aware of it.
If someone found a broken window on the ground there, would it occur to them that it might have fallen from my window? Perhaps not. Certainly no one said anything to me.
Meanwhile, a tiny voice in the back of my head is wondering: did I take it down? wouldn't I remember taking it down? where would I have put it if I took it down?
Just so odd...
