A quick trip to Sam's for three specific items. Easy-peasy.
As I reached out to open my back door, I noticed two things: The car wash last night missed a smudge, and when my hand approached the locked door it did not unlock.
As for the locking mechanism, not unlocking occurs for any number of reasons: The key is too far from the handle. The clicker battery is waning. Or, my favorite: the door desires my actual touch before it allows itself to be laid bare and vulnerable. Okay. Maybe not.
The Reality:
A cute couple offered to help me load my three items--that morphed into12--into my SUV. I thanked them profusely before I declined their kind offer. I have this. Easy-peasy.

I've always loved the way my beautiful crushed burgandy paint job sparkles and shines. But it's even more dazzling when it's actually free of dust, and road grime. So, I recently purchased an "all you can wash" pass that equaled the cost of 2 car washes a month. I have utilized it 3-4 times a week for the past couple months, so I'm for sure getting my money's worth, and better still, the smudge will be taken care of today. Easy-Peasy.

Oh, and here lately, I've forgotten to actually lock up a couple times--albeit usually at home, between grocery unloading trips (one of the reasons I will struggle with bags lined from my shoulders down to my fingertips, and slung around my neck as if I were a horse feeding on an oat feed bag--just to avoid the 15-step return trip to the SUV).
When my hand tapped the SUVs back driver side handle, and there was still no tell-tale pop of an unlock, and the door immediately swung open, I realized I had in fact left my Lincoln unsecured. Again.
Alzheimer's is going to be so much "fun" at my house! That is, if I can still find my way home.
BTW, did I mention I actually have a Ford?
Yeppers. I broke in to someone else's SUV. Thankfully it was empty. And just as thankfully, that cute couple who offered their assistance were not around to become my unwitting accomplices. Or witnesses against me to the PoPo.
