Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So glad you found your glasses, sumi! I go through that many a morning - I try to always put them in the exact same place on my nightstand every night so I can just reach for them without seeing but they are not always there in the morning, somehow. I have had panicked thoughts of calling my boss trying to explain that I cannot work because I can't find my glasses but so far it hasn't come to that. They have usually been knocked to the floor in between my bed and the nightstand, or fallen between the mattress and the bedframe or just disappeared against the other stuff on my nightstand but most often they are an inch or two away from where they are supposed to be and just that is enough that I can't find them for a while. Makes for a nice jolt of adrenaline to start the day.

Happy birthday, JenP!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, JenP.

I got to see my brother in person yesterday, even though the jail suspended in person visits. Turns out we grew up with one of the corrections officers in charge of the jail and she made it happen.

That is a good thing. How did you find him? I'm sure he was comforted by your visit.

Cash, I'll be that did him a world of good. Good for connections.

The missing glasses conundrum reminds me of the time I was frantically running around the bedroom, trying to find my phone to turn off the alarm. Bedsheets, clothes pillows strewn everywhere in my frenzy. Phone was in my back pocket.

Thanks for the happy wishes! Delightful day so far, visited with cousin and aunt this morning after farmers market. Lunch now, fondue tonight!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Happy birthday, JenP! I had a lovely time at the dinner you organized on my birthday-may your day be just as good or better!

I am thankful that I have spare glasses from zenni so I've always got *some* glasses where they're supposed to be and immediately available. Even if they're not my "good" glasses, they're good enough to enable me to find my good glasses.

It's good to hear you were able to visit your brother, Cashmere. It must have been a comfort to him in such a hard time.

I'm glad, Cashmere. How is he?

It's good you got to see your brother, Cashmere.
