So in addition to aching all over and being congested and yucky...my brain has been completely muddled.
I'm working a split schedule right now to attend school. So this morning, I dragged myself to work and plugged away through the morning tasks. At 11, I went out to the parking lot to head to school.
I pushed my hand into my pocket to grab my keys...and there was nothing there.
I checked my coat pocket. Empty as well.
I checked my pants pocket again. Then all of my other pockets. I tried to figure out where I could have dropped my keys. I decided that since I was already outside, I'd look for them between the building and the car.
I didn't see anything on the ground, but as I got closer to my car, I realized that someone had left their car on. There was nobody around.
As I came upon my car, I realized that MY CAR was running.
I had gotten to work at about 8:30 and left my car running in the parking lot for 2 and a half hours without even realizing it.
Fortunately I had enough gas that it didn't die. Even more fortunately, nobody stole it.
The heater had been blowing for nearly 3 hours and the car was a sauna. I climbed in and shook my heavy, aching head as I realized what I'd done.
I need to get better. Calling in sick tomorrow to sleep. Ugh

I did that same thing once only I locked the car when I got out. AND, I had people with me out to lunch. Luckily someone else came in a different car and could take everyone back while I waited for a locksmith to show up, yes with my car still running.
In your case I'm worried that you should even be driving at all right now! Get better!
yeah...it's a mess.
I got up just now to send some emails for work and now it's back to bed.
some day. Sick, flipping out about "lost" car keys, and a car that had been running fo rway to long.
Sometimes i wonder if my life is terrible or not good. Well you top my bad days. ;-E
Hey, my background won't change. I have been trying to get a background like you but no matter how i try, it just won't pop up.
Post back or leave a comment on my blog. Do it when you feel like you have free time for you don't have to at all. I might find out. (But helping another goes very far.)
P.S. Lucky you that your car wasn't taken.
P.S.2. If you feel sick, remember this: You missed up all of those things you did in one day, importantly your car. Just call in and say that you are too sick.
Get well soon.
aaah....after a day of laying in bed and downing tons of fluids, I feel 70% better.
If the current rain will knock out the rest of the inversion, I'll hopefully hit 100% in time for my son's b-day party tomorrow.
Rebel, I'll check out your blog and see what I can see and post there in a bit.
thanks a million!
