Just a few years back I didn’t need them at all. Now I can hardly get by without them.
I made a break in my routine today. For about the fifth time this year I drove to work rather than cycling. I needed to bring some things to work and take some home so it made sense.
Unfortunately that meant that I didn’t follow my regular routine and so I forgot my reading glasses.
If I hold my head in the right position and squint every now and then I can read most things – if they’re in large print and across the other side of the room.
I guess I should hunt down my old reading glasses and leave them in here just in case this ever happens again.
I’ve only needed glasses for about three years and this is the first time I’ve forgotten to bring them to work so I’m doing OK so far.
Years ago when I was working for the Education Department I’d regularly have to try to break into cars to retrieve keys. Teachers would be visiting the resource centre where I worked for in-service courses. They were out of their routine and that would mean that they’d sometimes do things out of the ordinary, such as locking their keys in their car.
Have you ever stopped to think about how much a regular routine helps your day? Do you find yourself doing strange things when you’re out of routine?
I may have to make a new year’s resolution to never forget my glasses again.
