Friday Fictioneers: Glasses
PHOTO PROMPT © CEAyr
Mimi stood on the porch patting her head.
“What?” Tom asked.
“I forgot where I left my glasses.”
“Where were you last?”
“Kitchen.”
Kitchen was clean except for one cup of tea.
“Found them,” Tom said. “They’re on the book you were reading.”
“I remember. I was reading when I decided on tea. I got up and had to go to the bathroom. Shirley called while I was waiting on the tea. Then I went outside to listen to the birds and remembered my book. Retirement life sure is complicated.”
“Fancy a walk?”
“Yes, soon as I find my shoes.”

Dear Phyllis,
This made me chuckle. As one who can walk into a room and forget why I went in the first place, your story hit home.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oh we’ve all done it. I think mostly because we have so much on our minds.
Blelsings to you, Rochelle.

Ha ha! Sometimes I have to go upstairs three times to do the original task as I keep getting distracted 🙂
That’s why I don’t have stairs in my home.
Although, I have walked all the way down three flights of stairs to get out of my building and will be in the parking lot and have to go back up stairs, sometimes twice, to get everything I fogot.
At least we’re both getting our daily exercise.
Oh my goodness, this hit home! Excellent!
My story is a but click away!
So endearing. With retirement it’s no big deal, you have all the time in the world.
So true.
Life is like that. Sometimes I go upstairs and wonder why?
lol For you upstairs must be an adventure.
Mimi is having a relaxed life. There is no rush to find anything. She no longer has to meet any deadline.
Isn’t retirement great.
You scare me… retirement is approaching and I don’t think I can take such a challenge
You might be surprised. It’s the time to do all the things you’ve always wanted to do. If you don’t want to stop working, get a job you always wanted to do. Travel. Write that novel. Learn something new that you didn’t have time for before. Have fun!
I became a full time author. As soon as I become famous and make lots of money, I’m going tot take my laptop with me and travel.
That sounds like me and garnered a chuckle as well!
Having so recently retired, I had to laugh at this one. True life 🙂
