Musing on leaving my car keys just where I wanted.
Sitting at the new offices of Paschal Orthodontics (I’d been seated for about half an hour) I received a text.
“your keys are in your car door…..is that ok?”
I looked out the window across the parking lot and that is indeed what I saw.
This text was from a friend sitting in Dr. Pagett’s Dentistry office. Obviously, she had a better view of my car than me.
Can’t say that this happens all the time. But I can count on one hand how many times it has.
Dr. Paschal and I were just talking about the month of October. I said for us, the last two weeks of October are usually crazier than the two weeks before Christmas.
He started to tell me of all the trials they had to go through to be in their beautiful new office space by November 1st.
About that time I received Lady Malone’s text from the dentist office next door.
I looked at our orthodontist in his new space and pointed to my car sitting out in the parking lot with the key dangling from the door.
“See. You may have had contractors and electricians and computer people crawling all over this place. But that’s the kind of October I had.”
How have your first few days of November been?
Keys? Really? What a week I had too. Found my keys today by the way. They were on a junk covered table in the garage!? Good thing I decided to clean up a little today ; -)
My first days of Nov have been crazy…especially the last 10 hours…one printer that was so far out of ink I could not print not even one page (one that I desperately needed), one tenant with a blown fuse, one tenant with septic tank issues, one daughter that suddenly developed croup after being asleep for 3 hours, one mom that got humidifier out and filled, but somehow knocked it off, broke it, and spilled what seemed like atub full of water in sick daughter’s bedroom. In the words of Charlie brown, good grief!
It’s been raining here every single day and this is so depressing! The final term school holidays are just around the corner and we were looking forward to a beach vacation. Looks like we have to cancel our plans. Bummer!!
Have a nice day!
I had to think of you Karen – knowing of your car key trauma. I didn’t lose mine – but could have lost the car if someone was desperate. ( like in danger of losing their life desparate) And that humidifier story sounds just like something that would happen to me.
Too funny! Your town sounds like my town — everyone knows each others’ cars!? Definitely starting out as that kind of month for me too…. Nov. 1st spent 2 hours searching for some notes from an interview, yesterday an hour searching for my checkbook. This can’t go on! I’ll never get anything done. I can so relate!
Oh dear. Cancelling a beach trip that tops any of my October traumas. Hope the weather dries out soon.
That’s a great observation Julia. I guess we do know each others cars. I really messes with me if a friend gets a new one. I think they disappeared off the planet. Too funny.
Too funny! So, today you have a car to be thankful for. 🙂 I’m glad nobody ran off with it.
I guess this means Mommy Brain is a real thing? I know for a fact that I experience it all the time. I’ve yet to leave my keys in the car, but I have left them at work in a locked room within another locked room, when everyone had left for the day.
Yes Amanda…the mommy brain. My keys go missing lots…esp. when too many things compete for my little brain’s attentions.
I know Janice. I’ve done it before ….I come out to my car from Ingles and there is the key sitting there. I LOOK like an old Crazy Lady.
The at least leaving your keys in your truck didn’t lead to it being stolen — like someone I could mention.
Good to know we can be friends … I once wondered why there was the sound of a car running out side my house … eventually I realised two hours later that I had left my car running in the driveway. True.Story.
