Should Have Gotten on my Hands and Knees Right Away


….my last resort should have been the first thing I did

I found my glasses! Yay!!!!!

It only took 2 1/2 days. After sorting through mounds of paper, piles of clothes, numerous purses and bags and getting my husband to look under the seats in my car I knew that I had to start looking under furniture. If I didn’t have such a sore knee I would have done it sooner.

Last night I took a flashlight and started upstairs in my bedroom. I looked under the bed, behind the blanket boxes and under and inside the night tables. No luck. This morning I went to the chair that I sit in all the time to write my blog posts. I carefully lowered myself to the floor, being careful not to put too much weight on my right knee. Voila! There it was, between the chair and the bookcase, hidden by the power bar and the cords. Why didn’t I go there first? In hind sight it was the most obvious place.

Oh well, the main thing is that I found my glasses and I no longer have to wear my sunglasses on cloudy and rainy days. In the process of looking I found several other things that needed my attention, like paying for the dog’s license, renewing my subscription to the WMCT concert series and finding things that our dog chewed up and needed to be thrown away.

Maybe someone should invent a tracking device to put on glasses. It seems that losing your glasses is not such an unusual occurrence.

Cheers!

      • Coincidentally, I misplaced my glasses around the same time as you. Thankfully, I have 2 pairs.
        I eventually found them in the pocket of the driver’s side door of my car. I’ve never put my glasses there before. Don’t know what I was thinking.

    • I agree with you about the goblins. When I was a kid I remember watching the Twilight Zone and it was how little creatures in the middle of the night moved things in the house and sometimes forgot to return things to where they belonged.

    • Thanks Jill. I’m glad as well. I can’t imagine having to buy new glasses right now. My benefit plan only covers glasses every three years and I’ve only had these glasses for 18 months.
