The reason I have more than one prayer book

18 Mashiyyat 164 B.E.- Sunday, October 14, 2007 about 10:31 AM PDT

I lost my reading glasses again. I can't find them anywhere and I don't remember where I took them off. I also can't find my prayer book. I have one laying by the computer, but it isn't the one I carry with me and use regularly. I also have a prayer book in the car. All the prayer books have the same prayers in them, but I can't find the prayer book I normally use nor my reading glasses.

I had the prayer book this morning. I picked it up and carried it to (I think) the kitchen while I was making coffee. Then I pick it up again and carried it to ... There is a reason I have more than one prayer book (besides a new one coming out periodically with new translations of prayers). If I have more than one prayer book then I don't have to worry about mislaying one and forgetting where I put it.

The reading glasses are a different story. I have only one pair of reading glasses. The pair of glasses I'm wearing now are the one I wear to drive with not read with. I remember have the reading glasses Thursday night. I don't remember having them Friday. In fact, I don't remember what I did with them Thursday night before I went to bed. I think I had them with me when I went to bed, but I don't know for sure.

I'll eventually find them, but the problem is eventually. I'm working with the ones I have as best I can, but the reading glasses would help. I think if I just keep moving things from the last places I remember having them I'll find them. I think the next time I get glasses I'll get lined bifocals that will eliminate loosing my glasses or taking them off and laying them down someplace.
