Mishap

Today, I locked my keys in the trunk of the car. The front of the car was open though. I spent the next 15 minutes panicking, calling my dad, and beginning to dial AAA.

I went back to sleep. On Thursday I was just lazy, and didn’t feel like setting my alarm clock, so I slept through the sunrise again. So, on Friday I was determined. At exactly 6:29 am I woke up (one minute before the alarm, much to my pleasure, as I hate the sound of alarms) and… it was pouring! The weather forecast all week had been calling for rain on Friday morning, so I wasn’t surprised.
