My car is having issues and it is getting fixed up near my parent's house. I had to work today so last night I borrowed my mom's car to drive back to Columbus and was just going to drive back after work. I also had to bring back a large bookcase so it worked out that I took my mom's car as it would not have fit in my small car. And I had some Christmas presents to unload. I didn't bring much in terms or clothes, personal items etc with me, as I had stuff at my apartment, and I was going back to my parents in less than 24 hours. Anyway, so I left last night and drove through a small blizzard on the way down to Columbus. I unloaded the bookcase, dropped off some mail and headed home. It was around 10:30pm. I got out of the car and it was then that I realized...
I had no key to my apartment.
I had switched keys with my mom and never taken my apartment key off my key chain. I have given copies of my keys to friends, but unfortunately for me, they were all out of town. I was technically homeless for the night. I had brought a pair or clean scrubs with me, but that was about it. I hadn't even brought pajamas. I thought about calling into work, saying I was sick, and then just driving back to my parents. I then remembered one friend who might be in town. Luckily she answered her phone and was at her apartment. So I didn't have to sleep in my car. Hooray!
p.s. Thanks Milkadoll! You're a lifesaver!
