Mind Games
Went to Walmart Saturday. I had to pick up a prescription, a couple of items I forgot grocery shopping, and a couple of packages of batteries for flashlights. So, I get a loaf of bread, a package of bagels, size D and AA batteries, and the prescription. Had to pay for the non-prescription stuff at a regular check-out since the pharmacy was busy. When I got home, I found I'd left the batteries at Walmart. I figured the four items were all in the same bag. Logical to me. But, I didn't notice the bag wasn't heavy enough to have the batteries in it. Called Walmart and told them what happened and they found them. Told them I'd be right back. I'd, also forgot to get a new frying pan, so I got it. I went to the service desk and pulled out the receipt for the batteries that they said I didn't need since I'd told them right where they were. To get to the receipt, I had to get in the pocket where I kept my reading glasses. Well, I got the batteries, but when I got home, I realized I'd left my glasses on the counter. I'm too embarrassed to go back for the glasses because of my forgetfulness. Thank goodness they're only cheap Walmart reading glasses and I still have three pair around the house.

No need for embarrassment you are \'working\' at life and coping with stress and stress makes us forget. When you go back to the store ask them about lost and found - it happens to ALL OF US and is nothing to feel bad about.

Wow! What a day.. i have been so focused on one thing like driving and i ask my granddaughter (riding in the car) if she had seen my glasses as i frantically look around. she laughed and said they were on my face. the checkout person should have told you there were more than one bag so don\'t feel bad about that. i wish i could have multiple pairs of glasses but each eye is different and mine were $400. glad that you made it home with everything else :) susan
My glasses are cheap,,$15 a pair. Two of the three pairs I have left are mistakes bought at four o\'clock in the morning, but good. They\'re bi-focals, but the upper lenses are are regular glass which makes watching TV and reading easier since I don\'t have to put down my glasses.
Listen ~ When I was young & my mom was still living (She died when I was 29) ... She used to say, \"You\'d forget your head if it wasn\'t tied one!\" So let me tell you that it isn\'t always \"old age\"! So get that out of your head if it is still there! Mine was because I was into so many things!
