2026 has been a major pain in the Ass so far. Last night my reading glasses fell under my desk, which I was unaware of, and when I got up they were smashed under my boot. The pair in my bedroom disappeared ? and now I can't read, which is my favorite thing. I went crazy looking for the unsmashed pair with no luck. 7 am today and searching again. Nope, had to go to the Dollar General for a new pair and now I can read. So I guess it's a happy day in a crappy year. Protect your reading glasses, they are essential. Have a happy day !
