Things to remember when leaving the house

Okay, so I admit I can be somewhat forgetful. (No comments from the peanut gallery!) But, it seems I have now learned things in which to remember when leaving the house.

To begin, my friend Misty from work was very nice to offer to come by and take me to lunch today. Seeing as I haven't been out of the house much, I was elated to accept. She warned me that it would be a little bit of a late lunch, but lunch nonetheless.

For reasons, unknown to me, I had a rather difficult night last night in sleeping. I called it a night rather early around 9pm and toss and turned until Davin came to bed around 11:30pm. It wasn't long until the TV was back on and I was trying to watch myself to sleep. Sometimes it works...but not on this particular night. It was around 2am that I finally got up and went into the living room. Since arriving home from the hospital, we have had one of our guest beds in the living room so that I had somewhere to lay other than our bedroom. I was glad it was still there as I ended up laying down there and tossing and turning more and getting a little sleep before it was time to wake up. I had a regular doctor's appointment today in which I had to fast. So, I was hungry and sleepy...not a good combo for me! :) Doctor's appointment went well and got my yearly flu shot. Needless to say, I was glad to be home again. I did take a small nap before Misty came to get me. Maybe that is why I forgot about the things to remember when leaving the house!

So, Misty gets here and I go through the front door and only lock the bottom lock. We go to lunch and while enroute I remember I left my cell phone on the charger. Knowing she had hers and we won't be long, I don't go back for it. We come back from lunch and I am trying to open the front door. Key fits, but key won't turn. Thankfully, I had enough wits about me to stop Misty before she left me stuck outside my house. She got out of her car and tried the key herself. Will not open. So, we go around back to my back door and again key fits, but will not turn. I begin to think about me not having a cell phone, no way into the house and how close I was to Misty leaving me without knowing I was stuck on the outside. She kindly offered to take me to her house but that would have meant having me until around 9pm once Davin gets home from work. I would never do that to anyone! lol She then offered to take me to Davin's work, which stated in previous post is not close. But, still better option of the two. So, we drove to Davin's work and got the garage door opener. I swear I have used the house key before with no problem, but today I have learned different. Not only do I need to remember to bring my cell phone, in case of emergencies literally, but also a sure fire way to get into my house.

Once I was safely inside, it wasn't long before I was out again. Thanks Misty for such an exciting day! :)
