Knitting in pink

Just a little story on keys and why you should be sure of which keys you have at all time.

I found myself, at 7:00AM in front of my locked apartment door and without a key to open it. I'd just brought my husband to the train station and he was already on his way to Boston. I had in my pockets, my keys, my cell phone and my driver's license. No knitting, no book. Now, the question is, why do I have keys, but not the right key to my apartment?

Yesterday an agent came over to our house to look at one of our apartments that he will be in charge of renting out. I gave him keys. What I thought was the front door key (my own key) and said apartment key. Later that evening my husband gave me a new front door key so I wouldn't get locked out of the house.

So this morning after getting out of the car I notice that the two keys I have are very similar but figure that I'll see which is which when I get to the door. I get upstairs to our apartment and try key number 1, doesn't work, try key number 2, doesn't work. Start panicking, try again each key quite a few times without success. I figure the lock is jammed and call my husband. He's on the train so can't really help me. So I call 411 so I can get a hold of a locksmith. After getting their emergency number I talk to locksmith, and he tells me that he will call me back later. He calls me back and by then it is 7:30. Says a guy will come "shortly" after 8am. Finally at 8:30, the guy shows up and opens my door... I'm glad I didn't have a baby in the house, or something on the stove (not that I'd leave the house with those 2 things inside, but you never know!)

Kind of a sucky way to start the morning!

On a happy note, I will be going to Montreal tomorrow to celebrate a belated Christmas with my family. And I found out that the biggest knitting store of Montreal is 2 streets down from my brother's house where we will be celebrating! I guess I will have to go take a look! : )
