So I wear glasses, I really don’t see well without them. We have a wooded area where we walk the dog, it’s usually a nice walk, we get out, get some fresh air and exercise. But today, I wasn’t paying attention while walking along in the trees with the canine, and I ran right into a spiderweb. Not just the little strands that usually cross the path, but a full on spiderweb, the kind that might have a spider hanging out on it. I screamed, slung my face around, and there went my glasses. I looked, my kids even helped look, but I guess they are really hard to see on the ground. I had to call out of work because I can’t see to drive, and now I either have to get a metal detector or new glasses. This really sucks because I really like that pair of frames and I am missing a whole shift at work. TL;DR I really need to pay attention when walking the dog in the woods.

Update: bought metal detector, found my glasses, all is right in the world.
