A Familiar Search.....

This morning (Saturday) has been busy with lots of "little" things. I spent some time on the computer checking bills and started a load of wash. I put together the log for our latest RV trip which means printing out the daily details and adding the maps and brochures saved from each location...papers spread all over the dining room table. I finished loading the dishwasher and started it up. I got dressed and powdered my nose! I took the recycling down the hall to the trash room and finally was ready to go downstairs and return a book to our library.

Hmmmm.....one thing left to do: find my glasses. Since I take them off for close work I am always putting them down somewhere. So I looked in my bathroom and my bedside table....no. I looked on the computer desk....no. I checked the kitchen counter because they often "hide" on the dark countertop....no. I looked next to Dave's chair because I was sitting there with my morning coffee while checking email....no. I checked by the washing machine.....no. And then I repeated the whole route. 

Our apartment is spacious but it isn't that big! Dave was down at the pool for water aerobics so he couldn't help me. Frustrated I went back into the bathroom to get my old extra pair of glasses and glanced into the mirror.


Lesson learned.....now I know where I should always look first. I think this may be another kind of "aging" joke.
