Can I have another miracle like the glasses one, or is that just too much to ask?

I’ll think about this for a few and get back to you.

My hero! Do you think you can do it again? <hoping, hands clasped>

Funny, last time you lost them was on a Wednesday evening as well. I would start by looking in rooms where you take your glasses off. Did you go to the grocery today? IF so I would search the cabinets and fridge and or frizzer.
Do you hang them from things like the visor in your auto? A magazine page you may have read, a vase on the table? Anywhere that you take them off could be the case.
Solution. glasses
For your case, get a few magnets and hang that thing on the fridge.

Under the cat!!! That’s where I always find things.

@judochop, good thinking, but not my solution. I have a pair of bifocals with the reading strength, and I keep them in a cloth case through which I punched holes with a paper punch at each end and threaded a 4’ steel industrial chain. That is what I take with me when I go to the theatre, the movies, a restaurant a class, a meeting, whatever. I don’t care how stupid that chain looks around my neck, I took an oath that I was not going to go to the lost-and-found at a theater complex ever again. So my single-vision reading-strength glasses never leave the house unless I am taking a trip. In fact, they rarely leave my desk except when I am going to go hide them in the bathroom drawer.

So I believe that the case vanished all by itself, probably the result of a plot to force me to believe in supernatural agencies.

@sliceswiththings, ah, sorry, not to be morbid, but that would be three feet down under the lilac in the back yard.

I’m thinking garage or maybe on a table in the backyard?

Where my glasses and glasses related things usually are:

In my car
In the bathroom, usually in the laundry basket that sits across from the toilet.
Under my bed
On the floor, behind my nightstand
By whichever computer I used last, or by or near one of the computers
In the coat pocket of one of the last three fleece pullovers or hoodies that I wore (at least once the colder weather sets in)
Behind something on the kitchen counter

I lose my reading glasses a lot. I have several pairs of drugstore glass just so I can make sure I can always find at least one.

or,

and this is the killer, some part of the house that I don’t usually go to but went to recently. I live in a Cape Cod and don’t usually use the upstairs but occasionally I do. Once it took me forever to find my glasses because I had gone up there, set them down and completely forgotten about it.

I don’t know if that helps, you may have already looked in those sorts of places.

And if y’all can find @Jeruba‘s glasses could you please help me figure out where the heck my mouth guard is?

It’s too much to ask.

I wanna try to help this time! : )

Did you check all around and behind and under the desk? In case it fell? And in the desk? In case your hands put it away for you? Since the case doesn’t usually leave here…
Then what things are your doing when you use your glasses—things that you have to get up for, when you might grab the case before going to do.

Hm…I don’t really have ideas of where to look so much as ideas of how to think of more places to look… hope they help a bit though? Good luck!

Oh, my God, it’s the curse of the dreaded Party Favor Fish! Be afraid, @Jeruba , be very afraid…

OMG . . . OMG . . .

@Jeruba I’m assuming from your last response that you’ve had no luck so far in finding your glasses case. Bummer.

And by the way, I found my mouth guard this afternoon. It was on the floor, not behind, but beside my night stand; on the floor between the night stand and the dresser. I should have followed my own advice on where to look for small, important misplaced things, like glasses, etc.

Nothing. Nothing at all. I finished a project in the dining room late Monday night and carried all my tools back into my room afterward, balancing the glasses case on top of the pile. I have a clear visual of it. It was a one-handed operation because I am still sporting a cast and hobbling with a cane, waiting for my tiny little fracture to heal.

The next evening, Tuesday, I went out to a meeting, and when I came home I noticed that my glasses were on the desk but not the case. This was unusual because I normally put them away the moment I take them off.

In between Monday night and that meeting, I did not leave the house, and my glasses did not leave my desk. And we did not take out the trash, and I did not knock anything off down by the wall at the far end of my desk (where there is an amazing collection of water bottles and small boxes and assorted other debris that I can see but not reach), and I did not move anything on my desk, and I did not go elsewhere in the house to do anything with my glasses, and as I said I can’t walk around wearing them—I always carry them inside the case—and I have looked everywhere anyway.

This troubles me because I am just flat-splat not ready to embrace senile dementia. I mean it, folks. I’ve got way too much still to do.

Damn. I am afraid that @ratboy is going to be right.

@Jeruba : Well? Any luck yet?

Nothing. Not a clue, or I’d have reported back. But thanks for asking.

All the bookcases? Do you have a flat newel post? (I do, and more times than I can count I’ve put things there and forgotten them.) Dark corner of the stairs?

FOUND!! After a month’s time, I’d given up the search. Today my son wandered in and asked casually, “Have you been wondering where your glasses case is?” He wasn’t here when I lost it and didn’t know about the search.

As soon as I heard the question, my heart sank. He could tell just from where it was that I had completely lost track of it and I was going to feel like an idiot once again.

He teased me along for a couple of minutes before finally revealing that it was sitting on a shelf in the little book-crammed room we call the library.

I must have gone in there to look for something in a book, carrying my glasses in the case. I put them on to make my search, found whatever it was, and walked out with the glasses but not the case.

And later I had no recollection whatsoever of that whole process.

He said, “Add that to the list of unlikely places you look whenever you lose something.”

I already thought my list of unlikely places was comprehensive. I even looked in the freezer.

At any rate, it’s found. And thank you to all who helped me fret about it.

@Jeruba : Do I get a prize for the post above yours???? ;-)

I checked all the bookshelves in my room, @JilltheTooth. I did not think of checking all the bookcases in the house because I was sure I hadn’t left my room with my glasses or the case. But I guess you were right, at that. (I did give you a GA for it.)

Single-story house, though. No newel posts, alas.
