What a day! And it's just half way through...
what was I saying just yesterday about making the most of our moments?
Well, I should have known with such statements and proclamations
I'd be tested - and sure enough!
It began last night, I was in bed watching something on TV and fell asleep.
At some point I had taken my glasses off my head and put them on my chest
(not a piece of furniture but the part of my body with the same name)
I must have been out of it!
My husband asked me something (can't for the life of me remember what)
but it caused me to jump out of bed, sending my glasses flying
before they crashed to the floor.
I reached down to pick them up (still in a groggy fog) and lifted them up off the floor
but realized they seemed lighter. GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE ONE OF THE LENSES WAS OUT!
Yep, I had cracked the frames and one of the lenses was laying all by itself on the floor.
I immediately began to panic because I knew that today, in the AM

I had to take my dear, sweet mother to two appointments
and without those glasses, I would not be able to drive.
My wonderful husband (who was in a very good mood for as late as it was)
told me not to worry and asked where the super glue was.
This was the result

Thank The LORD and my wonderful husband!
You can barely tell where he glued the frame above the lens on the right.
But I didn't even care what it looked like, I just needed them to stay together.
So after my mom's two appointments I went to the optical store
to order some new glasses.
to order some new glasses.
They should be in by Friday, so I'll baby the ones on my face for the next two days.
All the while today, in my scurrying, I was panicked about my car key
(the one and only remaining).
(the one and only remaining).
You may remember from my post last Friday - I had misplaced my keys.
WELL, they are still missing!
And I am so panicked that the last remaining key to my car will meet with the same fate
before I can get another from the dealer.
Why do these crazy things keep happening to me you ask...
I think it has something to do with the "CHANGE" I've been going through
for the past decade.
for the past decade.
Can any of you ladies out there relate?
It sounds to me like you're RUSHING too much ... change or no change ... you need to SLOW DOWN ... I know ... women have a hard time not trying to do several things at the same time but, as we get older, we need to give ourselves permission to not try to do it all (at least not all at once). I'm loving your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying my blog, Rusty. I appreciate your encouraging words AND your advice to slow down. My mom is always telling me that, too, and believe me - I am always looking for ways to do just that..slow down and simplify my life.
ReplyDeleteBack in August, I commented that you need to SLOW DOWN ... well, that would be my comment to your recent fiasco with your glasses!
ReplyDeleteSure hope your dear wonderful mother is doing well.
