Spoiling a Perfect Record, Not a Good Start

Tweet

On Tuesday morning, I had planned to go to my parents house to put out a couple more bags of trash (I had two tags), and to empty the donation bags as well as the other things I was bring home to sell on Kijiji. Winter has finally made its appearance. Schools were closed and the police were recommending no unnecessary travel. Okay, I will stay home. Yesterday morning, it was snowing a little so I set off. Conditions seemed to deteriorate more with each mile I travelled. Eventually I arrived, hurray, someone had cleared the driveway! Boohoo, they had not picked up all the recycling the day before. Carefully putting my keys in my purse, beside my slippers, I got out of the van to move the recycling. Now back to the car to get my purse and slippers. Great! The van had somehow locked! At least I could get into the house! Once into the house, I used the telephone to call CAA (auto club) about unlocking my car. I could give them my location and my license plate number. The attendant wanted my membership number......It's locked in the van.....my cell phone number so they could call me back.......it's locked in the van......the number I'm at......I can call out but you can't call me . The service man was there within an hour, unlocked the van and I could pick up where I had left off. This was a first for me....I could always take great pride in never having locked myself out of a vehicle before.
