Blinky…

In my frenzy to get from one place to another today I somehow lost my reading glasses in their case. Did I leave them in the studio of a student? in the antique store? in the fast food place, where i know I had them because I was using them there?

As a child I lost things all the time and was chided about it to such an extent that it has made me frantic about slapping my pockets and checking everywhere when ever I’m about to go out any sort of door: I check for wallet, keys, money and in my bag I tend to carry a crazy excess of items, just in case. Some how I got vague this evening however, and thus I now miss my frames, which were kinda pricey when I bought them ten years ago. I have other glasses, but ….

  1. I totally hear you. I’m a (man)child of ritual for this very reason. I seem to do control or chaos (or productive or sloth) with no in-between. If my pants don’t have a button over the butt pocket (or if they’re not snug enough in the butt to effect the same), I have to put my cards in the front–and constantly check to make sure they’ve not fallen out.

    I hope by the time you read this they’ve re-surfaced. If they do, put a sticker with your first name and phone # in it–it’s surprising how often folks will call when they find things.

  3. hope you find your glasses.

    I left my WALLET in Eagle Provisions the day before Thanksgiving. as I was waiting to cross the street, the polish butcher came up to me, out of breath from running, and handed it over. I do the slap-pockets thing religiously, but this is the first time I’ve left something as important as my wallet in a store.

  5. glasses

    I’ve gone as far as to have a pair of reading glasses (seperate pairs) at my office, in my home, in my truck and in my briefcase. I also – (oh dear i’m going to lose fagpoints) – just buy the reading glasses at the drugstore instead of paying the big bucks. Hello – my name is Muffin – and I’m a cheap bastard. (hello muffin)

  7. I have this little mantra I recite while I’m slapping my pockets before I leave the house

    Spectacales
    Testicles
    Wallet
    and Watch

    but since I don’t wear a watch any more I really mean my mobile phone, but unfortunately I cannot get that to rhyme.
