Well Day 5 ended on a mixed note. On one hand, I went shopping for a couple of pairs of slacks and capris, and I found linen(!) ones, on clearance, for a fabulous price! On the other hand, when we went to go down on an outing with the Smaller Niece and Grannie, I discovered that, as I suspected at the time, putting my glasses on the loop of my scarf while I was shopping was a Very Bad Idea. In all of the putting on of clothes and putting off of clothes, and in general, trying things on, I *forgot* that I had my glasses on my scarf (instead of properly Put Away), and so they were gone.

These are not cheap glasses, nor was it easy to acquire them in the first place. As I may have noted at the time (and I'm too lazy to go back and check right now), it was almost two months between when I had the eye appointment and ordered them, and when they arrived, and then when I was finally able to schedule picking them up. They are also a very magic plastic, and pretty much disappear when you put them down, because the refraction of the plastic is so slight. This also means that they were pretty expensive, and I was not happy at the thought of having to replace them just because I'd been careless.

The outing went very well, and I'll probably write more about that later, and on the way home, we stopped at the store where I'd been, to inquire at their Lost & Found. Hooray! Sometimes you live right! My glasses were there, pretty much not bent up. Happy ending. And *maybe* now I've learned not to loop them through whatever I have wrapped around my neck at the time. (But, unfortunately, possibly not...)
