It was 1:00am, following a light lunch, today. I was kicking back in my reading chair, spreading a light quilt over myself to see if I could catch a short nap. Sometimes I manage, sometimes I don't. Before I had quite settled in, Hunky Husband came into my den with a question.
HH: Where's your phone?
CC: In my purse [on my non-computer desk, across the room].
HH: [Retrieving my purse and setting it into my lap.] Would you please call me? I've looked all over the house for my phone and can't find it.
CC: [Hits the speed dial for HH's phone.]
HH's Phone: [Plays the ring tone assigned to calls from me. Sounds close.]
HH: Oh!
The phone was in HH's shirt pocket. It's hard to get to sleep following a raucous belly laugh.
That is pretty funny. But, I have to admit I've done that with my reading glasses (on top of my head, in my hands, or staring right at them and I have to go find another pair).
As long as you can laugh at yourself for such foibles, then all is good!

One of the reasons for buying after-market satnavs for cars and bike was that I then didn't have to remember actively where I was going ;-)

Bogie--Or...I look for my glasses while wearing them.
Stu--That would be tough! I rarely use my satnav system; but, I turned it on the other day while taking Elegant Friend for a ride following our lunch. I got into the country, in unfamiliar territory. Not wishing to make a U-turn (and see the same scenery on the way back to EF's apartment), I wanted a perpendicular road that would lead me to another major north/south road. I set the satnav to take me to Wonderful GrandDaughter's house, which is in the north part of Wichita, and let it lead me to a road that connected with the major north/south road near her home - then cancelled the guidance.

That sounds so familiar!

A first for me the other day. I was reading about an event I was interested in on Facebook on my phone and I started looking for my phone to check my calendar to see if I could attend.

Liz--It would be a rare person who hasn't had such events, wouldn't it?
Ingineer--Thanks for that one! Reminds me of "The Space Probe Disintegration" episode of The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon, in a cell phone signal dead zone (with Leonard, Penney, & Amy) makes numerous false moves toward doing something with his phone - each time, belatedly realizing that his phone won't access anything.
Sort of like thinking we'll heat something in the microwave when the electric range doesn't work during a power outage.
