Don't Stand So Close to Me.

This week's theme is objects that tell something about you. Well, my first photo this week will tell you something that I'm not so sure I want to admit to. Yes, I have had to purchase lovingly referred to as "old lady glasses." I thought a few years back when I had my Lasix surgery that I was free from glasses and contacts. The world was my oyster and all I had to do was see it. Well, that joy was short lived. Being firmly implanted in my forties has made a difference. I just plain can't see things that are too close to me. So I have my stash of glasses pretty much all over the house. I buy these "readers" by the 3 pack at Costco just so I can have some in just about every room of the house. I have even (gasp) taken to wearing them on a suede string around my neck so I don't lose them. You see, even though I have at least 9 pair running around here, I can never find a pair when I need them. It really is a pain having to find a pair of glasses in order to read a recipe or label. But they are necessary, especially when working on the computer. I will survive...and I promise I won't get a chain to hang my glasses on yet, for at least another couple of years.
