What a crazy morning

I don't know what got into the pets this morning.  The cat was zooming all over the house.  Misty discovered that the plastic wrap was gone from the windows, and that she could now move things aside and look out.

She spent the morning looking out that window, and barking at EVERYTHING.  Like the cat jumping off a table.  And me getting ice out of an ice cube tray.  Everything!

So after getting her into the cage, I left to get gas.  Because with no gas, there'd be no getting to work.

And then things got interesting.

You see, I drive a Nissan.  And it has one of these keys:

All I have to do is have the key in the car for the car to run.  I drive to the gas station.  Get gas.

Then the car wouldn't start.  The key light was flashing, indicating that the key wasn't in the car.  Well, yes it was.

The battery in my key must be dead.

So I sat there, in front of the pump having a small panic attack.  What am I going to do.  Then I realized that I could pop a metal key out of the smart key, and that it could be inserted.

Thank God!  And off to work I went.

Needless to say, I'll be buying batteries on my way home.
