Going to Bed Without My Favorite Stuffed Animal... :-(

Tweet

This is going to sound totally pathetic but I have a stuffed animal that I can't sleep without. I have had her for over 20 years and I can count on one hand the number of times I have slept without her. She is a stuffed calico cat named Chip and she is currently locked in someone else's house and I can't save her. :-( Here's what happened... I'm house/catsitting for a friend this weekend and their garage has a pin code that I need to punch in to get inside. I had trouble getting it to work earlier today but finally the garage door opened. I brought in my suitcase and my precious stuffed cat and set them in the guest bedroom. Then I left for work. When work was over and I drove back, the code wouldn't work because the machine seemed to be dead. I figured that the battery needed changing so I drove to Walmart and bought a new one. It fixed the problem but now the code had reset itself. So there I was standing out in the cold at 12:30 in the morning, trying to reset the code. I searched on my phone and found the manual but I still couldn't get anything to work. It seems that I need the garage door opener as well. Which is INSIDE the garage, locked in my friend's car. Talk about ironic. I had no choice but to drive home and leave poor Chip locked in the house. It sounds ridiculous but I'm honestly heartbroken over it. She's like my security blanket. :-(
