This past week made me think that I was getting older. Even though I dyed my hair a dark color (It is finally beginning to look almost normal.), the fact that I was covering the gray was quite evident. I had a couple of gray moments!
Tuesday morning I was getting ready for work, when I realized that my house key was missing. If that was missing, then my school keys were gone as well. I thought that I had left them at school until I realized that I wouldn't have been able to get into the house without them. After checking several times around the house, and praying for help, I realized that I had left them in the door all night. So much for locking the doors! Then on Friday, I couldn't find my car keys. I checked coat pockets, looked on the dresser and everywhere. I was starting to panic as I wanted to go to the ranch after school. I peeked in the car and didn't see them. I finally pulled out all the keys in my purse. I carry an extra set of keys for each vehicle after the time in Rapid City when I flushed a set down the toilet. The key wouldn't open the driver's side, but it would open the passenger side. I found my set of keys between the seat and the door. I usually clip them onto my belt loop. I guess I didn't quite have it clipped right.
So after having a week of feeling older, this week it will actually happen. The good news is that it puts me one year closer to retirement. Can't believe I said that word!
The ranch got hit with a big blizzard this past week. We received somewhere between 9 inches and a foot. After nine inches, a few more doesn't make much difference.
I drove home in the dark Friday night and decided that I didn't like doing that. One car was passing a semi and was in my lane. I didn't realize what lane he was in until he was up close to me. Then I had two deer decide they wanted to run out in front of me. I decided that I would probably have to change my day of going home. Unless there is a full moon and no snow, I may wait until Saturday morning to come home. Sure makes for a short weekend.
