Blonde??? Or ... A Little Disoriented... still...

As if yesterday was not bad enough - yes - the passing out at Curves really DID happen! It was all due to having "forgotten" to take my anit-depressant for not one, but TWO nights in a row! (could also have something to do with why I was so weepy over photo trickery in the news??? Maybe... it still bothers me - but I'm not crying anymore.)
So anyway... On MONDAY I had called my friend Nata to have lunch. She couldn't - so we set it up for Friday instead - we would meet at the restaurant at noon. Well, then yesterday happend, and I'm trying to get my meds caught up - and I ended up sleeping in until 11:00 today - and then FORGOT our lunch date.
So at 12:30 I find a message on my answering machine... "Melli, this is Nata! I'm HERE! Where are you? I hope you're on your way...." OY! So I grab the phone, call her back - YES! I'm on my way! Sit tight! I run upstairs to change my clothes, realize my hair is a disaster and needs to be washed, stick it under the fawcette for a quick wash, change clothes and run out the door! I get out to the car and realize I don't have my glasses. Run back in to grab them off my desk. They're not there! Run UPstairs to grab them off my nightstand. They're not there! Now, where the heck ARE they? They're not on top of my head cuz I just washed my hair. I look all over the house - upstairs, downstairs, IN THE SHOWER, everywhere... nope - they are nowhere. Grrrr.
I drive to Deale withOUT my glasses... totally against all laws... local and state and of nature! I really can NOT see without my glasses! But I'm not ABOUT to miss lunch with Nata!!! I got there okay and we had a wOnderful time - the food and the service was horrible - but the company was good! The ice tea was good too! (that counts for something!)
So, when I got home I looked alllllll over the house AGAIN for my glasses. Tore apart my bed thinking maybe I fell asleep with them on... I was sure I hadn't -- but my options were running thin! Nope. They were NO WHERE! I gave up thinking they are right in front of my nose, I'm just not seeing them! I'll wait and someone else will spot them right away!
Mathew came home about 4:30 and I told him my dilemma. First he yelled at me for driving to Deale with no glasses.... Yea... by 19 or 20 it's okay for them to turn the table on us when WE act stupid - so that's okay! Then he went on a search and rescue for my glasses! He turned the whole house upsidedown looking... NO GLASSES.
I said "Boy... my glasses did NOT just get up and walk away." And honestly - I only EVER leave them in 3 places. My desk, my night stand, my head. We started thinking maybe Missy had gotten them and dragged them off -- so we're looking under couches, behind bookshelves, in places even MISSY couldn't possibly put them... still no glasses.
I finally decided that they just HAD to be upstairs somewhere. I remembered having them this morning and they didn't go missing until I was getting ready to drive... so they HAD to be here SOMEwhere! As I went back upstairs Mathew said "Mom, what pajamas were you wearing?" Well... I wasn't - I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts... but he said MAYBE the glasses came off when you took your shirt off! And sure enough. I went to the laundry, grabbed that t-shirt and shook it out - and out fell my glasses!
Good grief!
What a day!

So, I'm wondering -- are we related? I have missing glasses issues all the time. In fact, I keep an old pair in the medicine cabinat just for such emergencies. Their perscription is a bit off, but they are better than nothing.

I hope that you are feeling better Melli; glad that your found your glasses - phew!! ((())) I've been sleeping alot lately! I keep telling myself that I need it. Soma broke the answering machine, and I think it's a good thing. I've been avoiding the phone and obligations; those can go on the back burner. ;)

Boy, that was some day you had! I tend to be that way with my car keys and my phone. Luckily I always carried a spare key with me. Is it age or what? My kids alwyas tease me about getting senile.

Oh my gosh I'm so glad that you finally found them!!! Glasses are WAY too expensive to have to replace until you just can't see any more. Glad you got some well needed sleep too. I slept 10 hours last night and I sure do feel better for it. Now you just need to remember to take those meds! LOL and btw, darling picture of you up there, you floozy!!! LOL I'm off to visit friends this afternoon, but wanted to drop in here first and say hi. Haven't visited you here in quite a while.

You are my sister. I can't find my debit card or checkbook today. I had it Friday during lunch and can't find it for the life of me.
Seriously, it's not us. Someone is messing around with all of our stuff.
