I lose them. I’ve done it from childhood. It used to be items of jewelry I’d lose.<\/p>\n
As I’ve gotten glasses-reliant to read—it’s the glasses. Medical crisis in the house—absolutely guaranteed I’ll lose my glasses. And they’d stay lost until the crisis simmers down.<\/p>\n
Although in this instance, I had Shu-shu’s help, I am relatively certain.<\/p>\n
My wonderful new contacts, the concentric bifocals, enable me to read with a little struggle, but enough, in decent light, for reading things like “Do not open near flame,” and “Lethal if swallowed.” This is a Good Thing.\u00a0 They’re not enough for editing or for sitting and reading for an hour or more. My astigmatism is practically non-existent at distance and a pita close up, so that’s why I need the glasses. And I had a necklace with a little square glasses holder, but the clasp broke; so I went back to hooking them in the collar of my tee-shirt. Which means they’ll fall if I don’t watch it, particularly when getting out of the car and messing with the seat belt.<\/p>\n
So it was a tossup where they’d landed: crushed to powder in a parking lot, lost in a store aisle, etc. But it turned out they were in a place (beside my work chair and slightly further than they’re ever set down) that indicate kitten-help.<\/p>\n
Finding them saves me some money and (literally) some headaches getting them replaced (days of waiting).<\/p>\n
I think I’m making a new rule, that I don’t take my Real Glasses out of the house, just the storeboughts without the astigmatism correction.<\/p>\n
I’ve gotten so used to these contacts I’m sitting in my usual spot brushing Ysabel and waiting for my eyes to focus. Things are certainly blurry. Then it dawned on me I took my contacts off to clean last night.<\/p>\n
And this morning I have my glasses back.<\/p>\n
