Have you ever looked for something, not realizing you had it in your hand the whole time?

That has happened to me more than once. I have to laugh at myself when it happens, as, I continue to look for something, all the while carrying it aroound the whole time.
I was looking for my scissors this morning as I needed them, and sure enough, I had them in my hand.
I can always laugh at mysef when I do things like that, and it just goes to show that my age has creeped up on me, but then it most likely happens to others as well.
At least I don't hae to worry about others thnking I am crazy, since I live alone anyway.
Sometismes I telll myself that I am really losing it, to look for something that I had in my hand all along.
Call me senile, just don't call me late for supper.

@rosekiss No I think there are many of us do it, my friend once rushed to her doctors because her sight had suddenly become all blurry , she was very embarrassed to find out that she she was wearing her glasses and her contact lenses which she had forgotten to take out.

no, i don't think you are senile now. i believe when there are many things running in your head, that you tend to lose the first priority.
i looked for my spectacles this morning. what i did was, i retraced my steps until i found it on the table.

@ridingbet Yea, you would think so, wouldn't you? Mine is sharp on one hand, and not so sharp on one hand, but on others, it isn't. Oh well, such is life.

@rosekiss even though we are now ageing (gracefully 
), we should have a sharper mind.

My daughter and I both do it and she is twenty years younger than I am. It's usually my glasses and they are usually on my head. For my daughter it is keys, her cigs, a t-shirt, etc.

I did this just the other day. I had a bunch of things in my hands - and I was in a hurry to get out the door because the kids were already at the car. I was looking for my small list of things to do and I couldn't leave home without it . . . and just when I slipped my flip flops on, I realized it was already in my hands, well tucked under some else

I could not find my glasses this morning. Should have checked my head because they were on top of my head the whole time!

Yea, I have had that happen to me too. I don't wear glasses anymore, but when I did, I would like for them and be wering them. I always felt I had to have glasses to look for my glasses.

@rosekiss Now that is funny. Then you need to own at least two pairs of glasses.

It has happened to me with keys too, and I wondered where they were, and they were in the car ignition. I wish it didnn't happen at all, but such is life.

That uis easy enough to do, as whedn I wore glasses, I would do the same thing, and then tell myself that I was going crazy, as I looked in the mirror and would see them on my face.
