I lost my glasses yesterday in my room. I checked the usual spots then expanded the search. Knowing they were in my room somewhere but gripped in escalating distress since not being able to see clearly is distressing. I ended up with the mattress in the corridor and bedding stacked on shelves as in near tears I could not find them.Then I found them on the shelf which I had checked a dozen times.To have a not great body and not great eyesight is fucked. But eyes can be mostly assisted such as with glasses. Without them I felt as useless and pathetic as I have ever felt. |
