Pyat and the Parking Lot of Doom

[pyat]

This morning, I managed to lock my keys in my car, for the first time in 8 years. And, naturally, I had two armloads of groceries, and it was -6 C out. And, naturally, three of the bags broke as I futzed around, patting pockets in my coat and trousers in search of the keys, because I'd overloaded the bags, since I was just going "a little ways."

I was just a couple of blocks from velvetpage's work, so I schelped through the snow in thin loafers, carrying armloads of sundries. I got wet and cold, but also got her keys, walked back, and all was well with the world.

The day got better after that - a long warm bath, coffee / conversation / book browsing with catsarah, and some work-at-home productivity. And tonight there's a Valentine's Day concert, dinner out, and possibly some hardcore woo-pitchery.

And remember - the Provicially Mandated "Family Day" is Monday. Long weekend!

I live in fear of locking the car with my keys in it. Even went so far as to disable the autolock (where be your fuse now, electronic gatekeeper!).

Glad you were able to recover quickly.

When I was a reporter, I did it so often that I kept a spare door key in my wallet. But it's been a while. :)
