Has This Ever Happened to You?

(I have a few posts that I wrote in February and March but never posted because of my accident. So I am going to post them over the next week or so, just so they don’t go to waste. :) )

Has this ever happened to you?

You go into New York for a job interview wearing a good pants suit.

The interview process takes hours. The only good thing about the day is you get to have a cup of tea with your dear friend Michael who works a few buildings away from your interview.

On the ferry home, you put your sunglasses on and you put your BRAND NEW glasses into your pants pocket because they don’t fit into your teeny little, yet very fashionable, purse.

You get home exhausted, cold and having to pee so bad you’re unbuttoning your pants as you walk through the door and you let them literally just drop off to the floor before you even get into the bathroom.

You quickly jump into your sweats, then hang up your jacket and pants.

You just as quickly crawl under your comforter and sleep for two hours.

You wake up at seven and realize you have to go pick up a prescription.

It is dark, so you start looking for your BRAND NEW glasses.

You search all over. No glasses.

A light bulb goes on and you go to your pants suit pocket.

You remove your mangled glasses.

You remember when the pants dropped off, you had to step on them to extricate your feet, apparently stepping on your you-know-what- kind of glasses.

You say “Ohhhhhhh nnnnnnooo” like Ralphie in A Christmas Story.

You gamely get out your little glasses repair kit and attempt to bend and screw them back together.

Your MS-numb hand slips with the little mini-screw driver and you gouge one of the lenses.

You get them back together, but they certainly no longer look BRAND NEW.

Has this ever happened to you?

I thought so. I figured it could only happen to me.
