I was ‘almost’ through the entire store. I was hot and sweaty from pushing that big old weighted down buggy (dog food was an E-value this week)($5 off!!) when I reached to take my glasses ‘off’ to read a label on some flavoring stuff you put in water.
And my glasses weren’t on my face.
And they weren’t on top of my head.
And they weren’t tucked into the front of my shirt.
I’ve had THIS pair of glasses for years! They’re my fallback pair. The pair that feels good on my face…. my favorite pair.
I tried to backtrack through the store, trying to figure out ‘if’ I’d taken them off to read something…… I hadn’t had breakfast and I got to Sams prior to the ’sample hour’ so I was weak and starving and hot…. I turned that buggy around and retraced my steps.
Not by the potatoes, or onions, or ham…. Not by the bread…. not by the bottled water….. or the DP. Not where I wrestled that big bag of dog food into the buggy……
Hmmmm.
Then I thought that maybe, just maybe I’d left them in the car although that is something that I’d never done before…..
I paid and lugged the stuff to the car all the while figuring out how I was gonna get another pair like that one!
Last time I’d bought glasses I had the lady at the eyeglass store write the PD on the paperwork and I remembered ‘where’ my copy of that paperwork was. YEAH. This meant I could order another pair online without messing with trying to talk the doc or the eyeglass store into giving me the required info to order another pair of eyeglasses online…
NOT in the car…..
I unloaded the buggy into the back of the vehicle. Dog food first so that it could be the base for everything else to sit on. Ever tried to move a 50 lb bag of dog food when you’re bone-tired and weak from hunger & thirst….? Then the sodas. Then the bottled water.
THERE WERE MY GLASSES.
Under the bottled water.
HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?
Oh well. Am I becoming that absent-minded? I’m betting I laid them on top of the paper towels (that were an e-value this week $3 off!!! - then forgot when I rearranged everything to get the sodas in there….
