It’s My Imagination

What a Morning!

I began this morning by realizing that I’d left my purse (with wallet inside) in our van, under the seat, where I’d placed it during my daughter’s softball game last night.  This wouldn’t been a problem in and of itself except the fact that my husband drives the van to work and so, the van was gone, along with my purse.

Normally, I wouldn’t necessarily need my purse, I usually drive my daughter to school, but it’s only across the road, not a big chance of me being pulled over and needing to show my drivers license.  Today however, I had to drive the car to the dealership where I had an appointment for some routine maintenance and some recall work.  I needed my drivers license because I was going to receive a loaner car and I needed my i.d.

My other problem was that the car needed gas and I had no credit cards, atm card or cash because my wallet was in my purse.  Thankfully, I do keep a couple of credit cards at home that I don’t use, so I grabbed one of those and headed to the gas station.  I got to the station only to find lines of cars and several pumps not working.  I’m still not sure what was going on, but I waited my turn and finally got my fill up.

I then headed to the car dealer.  It was a bit farther away than I thought, so I was a little late.  I couldn’t get over how busy they were at 9 in the morning.  It made me a bit nervous to have so much hustle and bustle going on around me.  We bought our car through a broker in Illinois and picked it up at a dealer.  I had not seen that kind of busy activity other than at a mall, in a very long time.  Anyway, I did get the car checked in and picked up a loaner car.  It’s a bit odd driving it, mainly because ours is a 6 speed and the loaner is an automatic.  Of course, the buttons are in different places to so it took some adjusting, but I made it home, eventually.

I finally pulled into the driveway only to realize I had no garage door opener.  You see, the opener is actually programmed into our car’s computer, no actual opener is in our car, so it didn’t occur to me until I got home and couldn’t get in.  I also don’t carry a house key, so I couldn’t get in.  I finally had to drive to my husband’s office, for the second time this morning, to get the opener out of the van.  Too bad I hadn’t thought of it the first time around!

So, I’m home now, waiting for the call from the dealer that my car is ready.  Wonder if I’ll forget anything this time?!
