Problem:
I am a loser - a key loser. A regular basis key loser. They disappeared yesterday. You see this door? Well, it won’t open without a key. Doesn’t matter what you say to it, it won’t open on command. You must have the key. Had it not been deadbolted, I could have tried the old credit card trick and just begged forgiveness from the sheriff’s department when the burglar alarm went off, but that idea was not a workable solution. And the garage door - same deal. Luckily, MH was arriving at about the same time as me so I was able to get in out of the heat and mosquitoes. It would have been so nice if I had been able to hide the nasty little fact that I had lost the keys again, but I guess MH just accepts me for the loser I am. He didn’t say anything except, “Find them”.
I have a fairly new Toyota and it has a push button starter, but you can’t start it without its key. Just like any other vehicle I’ve ever known of, it must have a key or it won’t budge - unless you are a car thief and know how to hot-wire. I am totally devoid of those qualifications. I was a prisoner at home yesterday. The last place I was when I did start my car and drive off was the library. I called down there and they looked in the parking lot; they looked all around where the keys might have fallen. I knew they had to be very near the car when they disappeared, or the car wouldn’t have started in order for me to leave.
There is a happy ending to this story. I had dropped the keys in my camera bag (which I never go anywhere without) instead of my purse, and it finally dawned on me to look in the camera bag.

Solution:
MH bought me a new key fob today. Surely I won’t lose the keys anymore. If I do, maybe Squirt can assist me in my search.
