Locked Out

I need to apologise. I have already missed two nights for posting a blog. I am trying to remember, but I have a number of things going on at this point in time. One of importance is the fact that I will be doing some travelling starting at the end of next week and I am trying to get ready for that.

I just finished spending a couple of hours entering my itinerary into my cell phone. That way, I hope to keep better track of what is happening the next day while I am away. I should be able to stay on top of the blogs during this time. If I miss a night here and there, please forgive me.

Last night, I was delivering some invitations to a Cottage Fireside. I only had about seven or eight to deliver. I had finished three or four, when I tried to get into my car to drive to the next house. I could not unlock the door by pressing the button. I had to pull the key out to open the door. When I got into the car, it would not start. The lights all worked just fine. I tried a number of times but it would not work. I had to call my husband. As it turned out, he was only a block or two away. He told me to put the key fob into the ignition. I had no idea what he meant by that. The salesman that sold us the car either neglected to tell me or decided that I did not need to know. Anyway, my husband showed me what to do and it was decided that my key fob needed a new battery. After all, it was the original battery and we bought the vehicle in 2012.

This morning I had a medical appointment at 11:00 am and was running a bit late. I had forgotten that I was going to the dealership to get the battery replaced in the key fob and went for breakfast. I forgot that I had the fob in the ignition and locked the door manually like I usually do. I closed the door and then started walking towards the café. Guess what. I walked about four or five paces and then realized that I had locked the keys in the car and could not get into it. Panic attack! Twenty minutes to go before my appointment. I tried to call my husband but the phone was turned off. I sent a text message but didn’t get an immediate message back. I tried to call him at work, but they couldn’t find him. I then called the dealership to see if they could help. While talking with the dealership, my husband tried to call. I had to call him back. He did not send the message because he came right away and had to get back to work soonest.

Long story short, I made my appointment on time. I then went to the dealership and the battery was changed before I had anything to eat. Then, I had breakfast, broccoli soup and a breakfast bagel. It was good. The soup had a touch more pepper than I like but it was still good. I then proceeded with the rest of my day.
