I found my glasses

I thought I wrote about this yesterday but apparently not. I was napping on one of the loveseats in the front room. I had my glasses on and knew I had to take them off. I *thought* I took them off and put them on the coffee table. I'm pretty good about taking them off and putting them in a safe place before I fall asleep. Yeah um no. When the cleaning lady arrived and I woke up they were nowhere to be found. Both she and I checked all of the rooms. I was on my hands and knees looking under couches and chairs. I even checked inside the fridge! I was getting desperate because I really do need them these days to see things up close. For like the 15th time I was checking the cushions of the couch and I really dug in there. . . and found them! They were straight up under one of the main cushions that I was laying on. I have no idea how they got there. I am shocked that they didn't break because the frames are thin and delicate. In any case I'm relieved to have found them and intact to boot. I have an appointment for Wednesday for an eye exam and will order new glasses then. I need a stronger prescription after 2+ years. Then I will have these as a backup in case this fiasco happens again.

I am glad you found them. It's weird how things can slide down in a couch or chair and disappear! Hey, was the TV remote under the cushion, too?

I was also looking for my reading glasses when I woke up this morning. I know I put it on the shelf above the bed. I found it but it was at the side of the mattress. It must have fallen down last night. I was glad it was not broken.

I’m going to need glasses when I get a bit older. Right now, due to my eye surgery, and this was NOT on purpose, one sees close up, and one sees semi faraway. Wouldn’t it have been nice to be one of those people blessed with great eyesight?

My eyes are like that too! I notice that one is much better than the other when I'm at the back of the theatre, and the other is doing most of the work when I'm reading a book!

Checking inside the fridge is so relatable... Glad they didnt snap under you, thin frames usually don't survive that, smh.

You mean this? I knew I read about it.
Oh this sucks. I don't need them for far-vision but I do need them to read things like books, the computer, my phone, etc. I was up early and had them. I...

I broke mine last spring and my spares were so outdated it was pathetic.

Those backup glasses are important, as I discovered when I fell. My glasses frame was bent terribly. When I got to the car I put one of my sunglasses pairs on, then wore my “old” bifocals when I got home until I got the damaged ones fixed.

Glad you found them, and they didn't get broken either! They must have slipped down there while you were napping. I knew they had to be there somewhere!

Thank goodness that you were able to find your eyeglasses today.
