37 Days Before Embarkation - Friday the 13th

I've gone and done it now. Crap.

I've lost my eyeglasses; not just any eyeglasses and not just anywhere. I lost my transitional, over-priced, designer-framed glasses in the forest and unfortunately, I didn't leave a trail of breadcrumbs in order to retrace mys steps.

In the unlikely event that I can distinguish the brown frame from a twig on the forest floor, I will continue to search for them, but I don't hold out much hope. Sometime before we depart on our cruise, I'll have to order another pair so I can see whales from my stateroom's ocean view window.

Does this mean I will have less money to spend on shore excursions? I suppose I could pawn my mother's Royal Albert tea set to make up the shortfall.

Oh hold back your gasps and admonitions; I'm kidding. Dean's got a bunch of tools sitting in the shop doing nothing and I'll bet they're worth a pretty penny.

What's this? Dean has just handed me a 2 for 1 coupon for eyeglasses from Walmart. It's our wedding anniversary tomorrow. Honestly, I hoped he'd be more thoughtful.
