Literally finding your glasses
People with terrible, blind as a bat, living in an impressionist painting kind of bad eyesight - how often do you set your glasses down for some reason (going to bed, washing your face, impromptu sexy makeout session with a stranger) and when you go to put them back on, you can’t find those suckers?
Like last night I was reading in bed all tucked in and cozy. When I was ready to go to sleep and take my glasses off, reaching out and across to set them on the nightstand would’ve disrupted my cocoon. So I just set them on the other side of the bed. Yes there were a few other things also sitting on the bed - my laptop, basket of nighttime beauty ritual creams and concoctions, my neck fan, and a can of mixed nuts for some reason 🤷🏼♀️.
Cut to morning, I go to put my glasses on, and I can’t find them! The lighting in the room has changed, I’m a little discombobulated waking from a sleep, and my classic outstretched arm, tapping every little thing until you land on what feels like what you’re looking for system wasn’t finding them. I had to sit up and reach into the night stand for an old back up pair of glasses so I could see well enough to look around and find current glasses, which were right there the whole time. I just couldn’t see them. Because I needed them in order to see them. 🤦🏼♀️😡
This also happens when I’m getting out of the shower, washing my face and I set them on the counter, put them up on my head when I need to really see something on my phone and have to hold it so close that the tip of my nose is touching the screen. Usually results in me swinging my head all around trying to find them, yelling “Where did they F’ing GO?!?!?” out loud, regardless of whose around.
I’m not looking for a solution, just some camaraderie from my fellow glasses wearers. You know who you are—the people whose friends with perfect vision are constantly asking to try on their glasses, only to put them on and immediately shout, ‘WHOA HOW DO YOU SEE WITH THESE?!
Fine. We see fine. Now give them back.
