    I can't find my glasses so I guess this is just who I am now

    When in this situation I often think of how screwed I would have been in hunter/gathering times. Then I wonder how humans have outsmarted natural selection (in this context) cause anecdotally it seems most people wear glasses...and shouldn’t have natural selection breed those with bad eyes out (can’t run from a cougar if you can’t see it! You’re dead!) ? But here I am with my poor eyesight surviving and thriving.

    Thanks for entering my brain briefly. Hope you find your glasses.

    They'll turn up, or they won't. Either way, I'm walking away from this scenario as a changed man

    this why you gotta only buy the cheap ones off Zenni every year.
    then store the old glasses at different places in case you ever need them. eventually you'll have like a bunch of spares cached all over the place. like in the truck, the emergency bag, the computer desk, that emergency storage building you rent across town that nobody knows about, the junk drawer, the desk at work.
    in the land of the blind the man with multiple pairs of $11.95 glasses from Zenni is king.

    I just found them

    did you have them pulled up and resting on top of your head the whole time? you did didn't you

    its okay it happens to all of us

    No but they were next to me the whole time

    There's a *chance* I didn't look for them as hard as I could have, but I also didn't have to drive very far so it all worked out

    I have often dabbled but never purchased. My prescription is so high though that I'm looking at $30 minimum. What a rip off (kidding!). In the wise words of Matt and Kim "one day I'll see without these frames" but that day is not today. . . (actually probably never ever, laser eye freaks me out)

    You might be amazed at the things I can do without other things...!

    But yeah, my vision's bad but not TERRIBLE. I can see most things sans details without my glasses.

    My dad.

    Had to admit him to the hospital again post-op. Post-release transition plan is to be a skilled nursing facility.

    He doesn't know yet and it will be a struggle for him to accept with his dementia.

    One of the hardest things to do knowing the transition will end up likely in permanent residency for his own good.

    Hate the thought of him ever feeling alone and the restrictions these facilities are putting on visitation is only going to make that worse.

    So sorry C.
    We went through it with my dad.
    There is nothing that makes it easier, I’m sorry. :(

    I'm on a 14 day streak, says this app, but I haven't lost any weight. I never really eat as much as I'm supposed to, either. I think menopause did me in.
