I have miss placed my glasses enough times that I try to put them where I know I will find them. Now that the weather has gotten cooler I have a hoody, jacket or long sleeve shirt on most the day. I go out to tend to the animals and have my glasses on which become a pain as the chores start so I stick them in my pocket or I will lay them down and loose them.
I am having some home remodeling, inside and out going on and it is taking much longer than I thought so my life is really up in the air one day to the next. I do not have a routine any more and neither do the animals. So life is hectic to say the least. I have animals running amok. Traffic in front of the house has changed as they are all in the road. UPS driver complains and always need help getting back out of the drive. Love them critters or not I still get complaints about animals in the road. One friend corners me and tells me that her husband had to stop and get the goats out of the road. I started to apologize and she abruptly stopped me and said "Now he wants some."
I need my glasses to watch TV but take them off to do chores. A couple of weeks ago I got up to go and do chores, and after I could not find my glasses. I spent hours trying to retrace my steps, now I'll never get that time back. At my stage of forgetfulness trying to remember things is fruitless. So I just started to look under, over and around everything. Again days I will never recoup in time spent. I even had the contractor looking for them. I gave up and just wined about loosing them. I am so sure I wined to everyone about the damn glasses.
As a person who refuses to except trifocal lenses, I have many pair of glasses for different uses. One for watching TV laying down, one for computer, one for reading and one for far and near vision. That would be the glasses I use for driving, shopping and any activity that does not require middle vision. When I worked I had 2 pair of computer glasses. One at home and one at work and always left them on my computers so I would not forget to move glasses from one place or the other.
I now wore my sunglasses to drive, not a good idea at night. I sat close to the TV and wore my computer glasses to watch TV and play on my laptop. I put them on and take them off constantly as I can not see what the hell the critters are doing out side with them.
It now has been going on for over two weeks I tried to get another pair but I needed to get eye exam again and then the coast of the glasses. I don't have an extra 350 laying around for a cheep pair with all this remodeling going on. I just in-braced the fact that I would have this inconvenience till next year.
Yesterday I was working in the coop trying to get a light in there so the chickens would start laying eggs again. They stop laying when day light hours shorten, turning a light on for a few hour solves problem. My focus was up, as I was trying to hang a light on my tip toes and holding the roost with out putting my hand on the chicken poop. Lots of coordination is needed for this job and I have little of this these days. I even tried to balance myself with one foot on the chicken roost. As I lost my balance I started to do the hot foot shuffle when I felt the strangest hard not crunchy something under my foot. This cause another hot foot shuffle going the other way. I was sure it was a chicken leg and all I could see is $$$$$ signs in my future. To my surprise and glee it was my glasses all shit cover and missing a lens. As I contemplated the task of sifting through chicken shit to look for the lens, I thought go get gloves. Then right on cue the chickens show up. I told myself to just do it. I am sure the look on my face of I just stuck my hand in shit was priceless even if no one but the chickens saw.
I sanitized the glasses and my hands but some how wearing them still makes me cringe.
