I was shopping one day a year or so ago and discovered that I could read food labels without my reading glasses if I squinted. Ah freedom, no longer dependent on glasses that are somewhere that I am not, I now scrunch my lids easily and often over the printed page.
So no problem today when my glasses again gave me the slip. Squinted and healed my way through the afternoon. As I threw a wad of exam table paper in the trash, I noticed the dark plastic ear piece of a pair of glasses poking up from under a discarded kleenex box (ah yes, threw that away late morning after a lady wept her way through her appointment). Well how about that, some hare-brained patient has thrown her glasses away, methought.
Need I say more?

That's funny. Just when you've got the world by the tail. . .
At least you found them. My employer took us to lunch yesterday for the holidays, and he had to borrow my glasses to read the menu and the bill. I was completely hopeless without them. :-/
Too funny! At least you did find them. Hope you have some time off this Christmas.
I buy my sister twice a year inexpensive readers because we know a pair or two will go missing, and I end up reading menus to her. I wear bifocals. This year I was able to score the hard to find inexpensive sunglass readers for the Holidays!
LOL!
Having been blind as a bat since childhood, my Varilux glasses are always on my nose so I never lose them. However, when I put them aside at night to go to sleep, I also have another pair in a glasses case on my bedside table. Why? So if I can't find my regular glasses, I can put the other ones on so I can see to find them!
Sometimes even Varilux isn't good enough - but being nearsighted, I can always read fine print if I take OFF my glasses and hold it very close!
Tobi will not be outdone. One of our portable phones went missing. The usual suspects--the dogs--could not be convicted. The "handset find" feature seemed to produce no sound--until this morning, when the non-menopausal SO turned on the feature and wandered near the trash can, which was plaintively beeping. The menopause-challenged one ascribed it to "overzealous" cleaning of her space.
Just dropped by to wish you a happy new year. Long time no see.
