Apparently it's possible to lose one's eyeglasses on an airplane. I'm not talking about eyeglasses that have been carried on in a purse or carry-on bag; I'm talking about eyeglasses that are actually being worn on one's face. A few hours into the first leg of our very long flight to our new location, I woke up 100% blind. In my sleep, I had removed my eyeglasses and put them somewhere...
I quickly shook H awake and told him what happened. H patted me down, patted himself down and then turned on the overhead light to investigate the whole area around our seats. No luck. He handed me my contacts so I could search too. About 15 minutes later, I finally found my glasses under my seat. I have no idea how they got there. They were sandwiched between the feet of the person behind me and the bar of my chair. H told me he's getting me rec specs for my birthday with a matching eyeglass chain for our next long haul flight.
I like this better for my birthday, I'm just saying:
