Today I spent the better part of 15 minutes wandering in and out of rooms, checking on too and inside drawers, going through bags trying to find one pair of reading glasses.

I’ve got two pairs but for some reason, I misplaced both. This seems to be happening more frequently as I enter rooms then forget what I’m there for, then get distracted doing something else, thereby forgetting to do the original activity I set out. It’s quite frustrating.

I’ve got a new pair of prescription multifocals and the bottom half are the reading bit. However I noticed that when I read, the writing is still a bit small on the page plus on a screen, I don’t get that crystal clarity. So I bought a couple of pairs of magnifying reading glasses but given that I’m myopic, I have to wear my contact lenses with said reading glasses OR put them over the top of my normal glasses.

It looks a bit ridiculous but the alternative was removing my glasses and then holding the phone so close to my face. Now with the magnifiers, the letters are clearer, they’re a little bigger too and I can hold the phone at a normal distance. Not too close or not too far.

Anyway I found my two pairs of glasses PLUS the knitted top that I was looking to wear a few days ago. I must take some time tomorrow to tidy things away as I’ve been quite lazy as I am out of sorts at the moment.

Going through the change means I’m waking up at all sorts of hours, unable to sleep (today I had two breakfasts at 5am then another at 10am). I’ve got all sorts of different aches and pains and there are days (like today), I simply can’t be half arsed to do anything.

I was meant to go to a French class and play 9 holes of golf plus an hour long walk in the morning and the only thing I managed to do was to upload a video onto YouTube, run the dishwasher and knit a few rows. I have no idea how the day just passes sometimes.

However, I don’t beat myself up. Tomorrow is another day. I have my ups and downs.
