I'm Losing It!

I am an early riser.  My alarm rings at 4:40am, and then it's get up and go, stuff to do before heading to work.  I do my hair and face, then dress.   This is a normal routine and I bet I could do it half asleep.  And maybe I was today.

After getting dressed, I decided since it was raining to use the restroom one more time before going out into the cold (yep, I always feel as if I gotta pee when it's too cold!), so I put on my glasses, checked my email......  I keep spare reading glasses in the bathroom for those times when I forget to bring my own --- do some people still call it the "reading room"?? -- and for some reason, I took off my glasses, and hung them next to the spares.

I grab my coat, slip my phone into my pocket and reach for my glasses which I keep next to my alarm clock while I'm sleeping.  Uh oh, they're not there!  Thinking that I'd fallen asleep with them, or took them off and laid them on the pillow next to me, I started tearing apart the bed - pillows flying left and right, covers piling up at the bottom of the bed.  Pulling the mattress away from the wall, finding the flashlight to look and see if they slipped down between the bed and the wall -- damn, no glasses?!!?!?!   Aaargh!  A look at the clock and I realized that I'm going to be late for work, but I can't work without the glasses!  One last dash around the room, and a peek into the bathroom --- sheesh, Yep!  I hung them there with the other spare pair.  

Two weeks ago I couldn't find my car keys, thought I'd left them hanging in the mailbox slot, usually I hook them to my belt loop --- after 10 minutes of frantically searching my purse, I discovered they'd been in my hand all along!

Every now and again I think "Yep, I'm losing it!"
Thankfully, I wasn't late for work!!
