I swear, once I get a job

(and we've dug ourselves out of this hole) I'm putting as much as I can every paycheck towards eye surgery. I don't even want eye surgery, it sounds scarier than dental work, but at 43 I think I have to accept reality: I am never going to learn to reliably put my glasses somewhere they won't break and I won't lose them.

I am never going to learn to reliably put my glasses somewhere they won't break and I won't lose them.

I don't know if this would help, but I'm always getting a glasses case, and doing my best to keep them in the same place each time. A nightstand, a spot on the laptop, etc.

Would that help? The "same spot" doesn't have to be right next to the bed, as long as it's someplace stable.

It helps for about five days, then it abruptly ceases to help at all.
