Stupid is as stupid does

And boy did I pull off a really stupid one. I mentioned that Saturday I got out in the yard and did some work. Well Saturday night I was looking for my glasses and couldn't find them anywhere. That is until I went back outside to put the lid back on the burn barrel. This is what I found laying on top of the ashes.


Those are the glasses I just got last year. How they got in the burn barrel I can't say for sure. I have two theories. I had my glasses on top of my head and when I reached down in to light the papers to start the fire they fell off. Or the second theory is that they fell off my head into a pile of sticks I was picking up and I threw the whole thing in there. Either way I don't recall them falling off. Needless to say I was none too pleases with myself.

I called the place where I got these and they are closed thanks to covid 19. There is an emergency number you can call but I really don't classify this as an emergency. I can see without them and I have readers to use for reading. I don't know how long the prescription is good for but I'm hopig they can make a new pair off of that rather than having to have another eye exam.

  3. Fortunately you can also see without glasses …
    I'm so sorry you have to wait for the new one!
    The opticians here measure the eyes every two years, so maybe you're lucky!
    No post today ... I'm taking a day off!

  5. Glad you can still see without them and pray that you'll get a new pair soon. Do you have a copy of your prescription? You could order new glasses online if you did. Hopefully things will open up soon for all of us.

  6. You're fortunate that you aren't dependent on them. It's curious how some things happen.

  8. Oh, Ann, I feel bad for you...this is so something that would happen to me. Around here, I think prescriptions are good for two years, but not sure.

  9. I would be up the creek without a paddle if that happened to mine. i can't drive or see and if i did housework, i would leave dust and streaks I can't see. I even have trouble seeing well with glasses on. Mine go on when I stand up out of bed and off when I turn out the lights at night..

  10. Oh that is a bummer. I think I did a post a long time go titled exactly the same thing! I can't remember what I did at the time but I have put my glasses on my head and then have them fall off and not know it before!

  14. My eye doctor is open for emergencies...and I bet yours may be too. Even if they just order you a new pair using the old prescription. It just stinks....the inconvenience, the fact that it happened, that this virus is keeping us from getting us what we need. Some days, I am just TIRED of this. I'm sure you are too.

    I'm sorry that this happened.

  15. Oh don't you just hate when something like that happens? And no one to blame but little ol you. Things like that sometimes happen to me too. A couple of days ago I had some ice cream for dessert and put it back, in the refrigerator, overnight. Silly me.

  17. I constantly lose my glasses and I am truly blind without them. Sometime I set them down to rest my eyes and then move and they fall on the floor. I hope you can get new ones soon. Take care and have a good week.

  19. I'm sorry that happened! Totally sucks. My prescriptions are good for 2 years - hopefully yours are too and you won't have to get another exam.

  20. Oh no! I would be lost without my glasses! I hope the prescription is still good.
