Locked Out!
Oh what a day and its only 11:30! SO… my son missed the bus to school and I should have know things would go downhill from there! I go to the post office in my pj’s and bring Zeus in the suv with me. I take my packages in, get them rung up and its $2.52 more than I have in my purse. Ok, I’ll just write a check – NOPE the checks are at home on my desk (with my wallet) – CRAP! SO I go out to the suv to scrounge up change – mind you I am in my pj’s and at the uppity post office – put my keys down on the floor with the extra stuff from the post office. Shut the door, run in with my change and pay. I come out and as I am lifting the door handle Zeus steps on the door lock and I watch in horror as the knobby thing slowly plunges into the door frame!!!! I am trapped and it is COLD & SNOWING. My extra keys, cell phone and COAT are at home! SO I got back in the post office to call for a cab (i am less than 3 miles from home) everyone is like oh no go to the police station down the street they will open it for you. Mind you I have no coat and am in capri pj pants and a hoodie. SO I start walking and I am getting really irritated because they were so insistent. I decide I’ll just call AAA – oh that’s right, my cell phone is in my COAT at HOME! SO I stop at the gas station and use their phone to call. AAA was totally awesome and put my call out as a top priority because the “dog” was locked inside and its flipping cold – like January cold. I sat on the tile floor at the post office for 30 minutes waiting and knight in shinning armor shows up in the AAA van. Zeus was quite happy to have the doors open again. Thanks AAA!
I am absolutely loving the new lenses! The photos are alot sharper!
What a crazy start to your day!
And why didn’t those people just take you either home or to the police office???
I am glad you are ok and if I see you at my post office I would have offered to take you home.
Blessings!!

Some of my days have started pretty bad, but not that bad. I think I would have just crawled into the fetal position as soon as I got home.
I’d like to see a picture of you in what you call your pj’s. Mine might have gotten me arrested in the post office.

I hate when bad days start so early in the morning! lol I bet Zeus was trying to open the door for you and got confused and locked it instead. Or since he’s a lab he’s probably a lot like me and got too hyper and bumped it. So did you learn any lessons from this – like next time put on longer pants? hehe

You’re a much better woman than I! I don’t think I could muster going to the Post Office in PJ’s….yours must be more stylish than mine! But, we don’t have a snooty Post Office…we have the “bumpkin” one, ya know what I mean bubby? Plus, my neighbor works at one and this time of the year I go and put packages in his car with some money, he’s my own “private mailman”!!
Oh no! That sounds so much like something that would happen to me… Except I would have left my keys in the car and locked the door MYSELF. That’s how I roll, LOL.

Ohh, I’m loving the sharpness of the photos. What lenses did you get? By the way, the book arrived the other day. Thanks so much! I sure hope that it wasn’t one of the packages that started this post office drama…
