When Sight Isn't Enough



Peered out the window on the door. Yup is was a cold day. Cold enough to bundle up warmly. Cold enough to use my toque-scarf thing-a-magie. You know what I mean, don't you? Please tell me that you do so I won't have to scout around for a better term. Time to go feed the chickens, back and forth up and down, cluck cluck cluck, toss bread scraps hither and yon, especially to the Americauna who is the odd one out and never seems to catch anything. O.K. Time to go back in and whip off all those outer wraps especially that touquee thing that rubs against my face.
Not so fast, girl! I heard the tiniest little plop and knew the lense on the left side of my glasses had fallen out. The lens wasn't difficult to find but where was that screw? I didn't have to be someone with a whole string of initials after my name to know seeing wasn't the sense of choice in this situation. I had to feel all around for that infinitesimally tiny screw. Ever try doing that? Well my fingers had enough feelers in them to identify and pick up the screw but that wasn't the end of the story.
Don't me that patience is one of the sixth (or six hundred lol) senses because I didn't have enough to get the screw back into place. Seeing wasn't enough here, either, so I'll just limp along with
tape on my glasses until I've stocked up on more Patience or until hubby comes and fixes them for me. He'll gladly do it.

Okay, maybe I could tack on a moral or turn it into a parable, but I'm not terribly inspired. Any ideas?
