I just spent $500 because I'm a loner.

I dropped my housekeys en route from my front door to the car and didn't discover it until I arrived at work. I looked in my car. I looked under my car. I looked around my car. I checked my purse 10 times. I retraced my route from the car to work. (I couldn't leave work as I'm a special ed teacher.) I fretted all day. I drove home and checked where I had parked my car, looking carefullyl into the grass along the sidewalk.

I had less than 2 hours to find a locksmith. I found one who heroically drilled his way into my house with a very stubborn deadbolt. Then upstairs for another door.

I didn't have a copy of the keys except for my landlord who lives 3 counties away.

My bad for not making copies and either giving them to my neighbor or a friend or in the glove compartment.

I'm just so grateful for being back in my home with new keys that I will make copies for my neighbor tomorrow. And I'm grateful that I won't lose my salary for working tomorrow -- and I was looking at having to stay at a motel until I could get a locksmith -- and losing a new job that starts tomorrow.

Things COULD HAVE been worse.

And risking looking really pathetic: I left my celphone at home, locked behind two doors. I felt incredibly incompetent but I kept thinking through my options.
