Rod to the Rescue!

Yesterday was crazy.

I have a TERRIBLE time getting out of bed

on the morning after teaching.

So I was a couple of minutes behind schedule.

Which meant I started the day off in a rush.

Although I DID take a few minutes to go out

and see the coop in the light and take

a couple of pictures.

When I got to work, I needed to finish a

project and I only had a couple hours to do it.

Finally got it done at 12:30.

I was supposed to be in a training class

across town at 12:30.

So I figured I was going to be late anyway,

I stopped at Sonic drive-thru

(the first time since September)

and inhaled a cheeseburger

(first BUN since September)

on my way.

I was late for the 12:30 registration.

But early for the 1:00 start time.

That counts, right????

Sat in a training class, learning how to log in

and do the basic stuff on a system I have been

using daily for 15 years.

It was fascinating.

Luckily I sat next to the Executive Assistant for

our Revenue Director - turns out we know each

other - we were the voices on the phone back in

the old Architect days.

We actually did some work for her (several times)

through Buffalo Graffics.

So we had a good visit.

And I learned one new tip.

Anyhow.

We got out of class 15 minutes early.

(4:45)

I was anxious to get out of there.

When I walked to my truck, I couldn't

find my keys anywhere!

They are on a Parelli horse head carabeener (sp)

and I hang them on my purse.

ALWAYS.

But they weren't there.

Or in my purse.

Or any of my pockets.

Or in the t-shirt bag I used to bring my blanket.

(I FREEZE in classrooms - including my own.)

Nobody turned them in at the front desk.

They weren't upstairs in the classroom.

They weren't in the ignition or on the seat.

So I called Rod.

He drove over to rescue me.

(He's such a good man!)

Luckily I had my Kindle with me!

Once he drove into town and found me

we unlocked the truck and started searching.

I found them.

In my Sonic bag.

With my napkin and burger wrapper.

Sheesh.

I have class again this afternoon.

I will be leaving early enough to go to Wendys

and get a salad.

And I will make SURE I hang my keys on my purse.

And bring my Kindle.
