Along with a good portion of the US, Wisconsin is in a deep freeze this week. The start of the school day on Monday was delayed in our city by 2 hours. With the wind chill dropping to -45 tonight, it wouldn't surprise me if there would be a delay tomorrow morning too. It's only January 6th!
Monday morning Mr. D and I decided I would drive him to his water exercise class at the CP Center so he wouldn't have to walk out to a cold car. Then I would go back and pick him up after the his class. He, in turn, would drive a friend and myself to a local restaurant for lunch where my friend and I were meeting the remainder of our Group. Easy peasy - right!
Mr. D and I got in the car, I backed up to let the car idle a couple of minutes outside of the garage. Asked Mr. D to get my sunglasses out of the glove compartment, which he did. I quickly put them on. I was about ready to back up when it suddenly dawned on me that the right lens must have a big smudge on it because it was a little blurry. I took the glasses off and grabbed a tissue to wipe the lens with - --------WHOOPS - there was only a lens in one half of the glass. The other was an empty circle!!!! The lens had fallen out somewhere and I didn't even see that.
We laughed so hard. I was so positive that the lens had a big smudge on it!!! Joke was on me.
Now I need to make a trip to get my glasses fixed, but it's too darn cold to run anymore errands than those that are necessary.
Ha ha - I've told a couple of friends about that incident, and we've had some good laughs over it. It has to be brain freeze - wouldn't you agree?

Funny story, and it is good that you are able to laugh!:-) We stay indoors to stay warm when it is cold, too!
ReplyDeleteThe temperature dropped to -45 here in Montreal last night and Montreal looked like a skating rink today...yikes. Love your story, thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is funny and yes, I would agree that brain freeze would have to be the reason. I haven't looked at our temperature yet today but after coming in from letting the dog out I know it's VERY cold
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny... a brain freeze... I was expecting that maybe you got distracted and had a little fender bender while backing up but I'm glad it was only a missing lens and nothing happened other than laughter.
ReplyDeleteStay warm.

You killed me with this one. That was FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteI think brain freeze is a valid assessment right now! Stay safe and warm!! Hug.
