my day is made

This morning before I left the house, I could not find my prescription sunglasses. I'm pretty organized and they are usually in one of two places, so I couldn't imagine where else they could be. I started rummaging all over, running up and down the stairs, even venturing out to my car for a quick search. My patience wore thin and it was still pretty early so I decided "fuck it" and donned my regular glasses, even though I knew the sun would be so bright later it would make me squint uncomfortably.

I stopped to soothe my nerves with a vanilla soy latte. Prior to exiting my vehicle, I decided to explore my center console one last time, and unearthed my precious shades from under a mini stack of CDs. whee! I'm not sure how I managed to miss seeing them initially but I was thrilled. I began worrying I had left them at the gym and somebody stole them. I know they're prescription but theives would just see them as cute unattended eyewear and maybe not understand the function until later if ever. You might think I'm paranoid - but this is the same gym where someone stole my drugstore face cleanser, even though most people who go there could afford whatever skincare they desire. At any rate, I was so relieved and thrilled I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of replacing them. I was also happy I could put my concerns about premature wrinkling and crows feet due to excessive sun exposure aside for now. Honestly, I marvel about these sunglasses every time I wear them. My vision isn't terrible and I really just need it corrected for distance (driving, movie screens, blackboards) so they are perfect for morning jaunts to the gym (where I prefer to see everything in soft focus) or when I need to run a quick errand and can't be bothered to fiddle with my contacts. It really IS all about the little things. Such a good feeling to find something you thought was never to be seen again! :-)
