Some habits never die.

My stupid idiot of a husband has taken both sets of car keys to work this morning. It is Eliza's daycare day, I have a lecture to get to, I needed to take the car in for assessment due to minor accident damage, I have a hair colour appointment at 11. am and I live in a stupid outer suburb and cannot possibly get to any of these things by public transport. The boys had to walk 3kms to school and will have to walk home too, they have basketball this arvo and I need to get Ewan to the doctors to get the plaster cast of his now healed broken arm.

Instead I am stuck in the house with my wallet and handbag tightly locked in my car. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

I have insisted that the stupid nong head courier the keys home to me when he gets to work.

But to the topic on hand - major stress and annoyance - I just ate two Arnotts cream biscuits and yep, I feel lots better!

Sorry -- had day like that recently and infact locked myself & 4 kids out of the house with cell phone safely locked inside the truck and no neighbors home. Had to walk about .5 miles to store & call hubby to bring keys home -- not a good start to the day -- did yours get any better?

Has happened several times here. I ring him and insist he bring them home. I dont care how he does it, just get them back to me. I have 4 kids...3 of them have to get to school and be picked up.

I know how you feel, as much as I know he doesnt do it on purpose it makes me sooooo angry.

We have several sets of car keys stashed in various places in the house for just this reason. There's also a hide-a-key stuck somewhere to the underside of the car. I keep the keys to both cars with me at all times, and so does my husband. We have only done what you describe once, and I will never let it happen again (knock wood).

You poor thing!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
