What is happening here?

Books, that what makes this morning exciting! I have books for my fellow teacher. I get the bag out of my trunk. Close the trunk, and immediately I get a feeling that I should have never closed my trunk! Why? Because my car keys are still in the trunk!

What to do?
First, deliver books (the exciting part), and then call AAA. Thankfully it only took them 10 minutes to arrive. Fastest service ever!

My day progressed. Meetings attended and work accomplished. Charts were created. Data was entered. Scores were analyzed. I was looking forward to going out for ice cream with friends. My bag is packed. Where is my cell phone?

Begin search! Not in my bag. Not on my desk. Not in any of the other rooms in my wing. People are leaving. I need to hurry before I lock myself out of my possible search zones. Master key in hand, Amina calling my phone, tennis shoes on, and I am ready. Pace fast (you know the pace that Fitbit loves). I race through the school peaking in every possible place that I have entered earlier today. Nothing. Last classroom on the right is fast approaching.

A memory surfaces. Didn't I use the computer in that classroom earlier today? Peak in. YES!!! There it is! Ringing quite peacefully on the corner of the desk! 
Perhaps if my phone had glowed as in the photo, I would have spotted it earlier in the day.....

Keys returned. I am ready to leave. Oh, you want to talk about tomorrow's PD? Sure. I have time. We determine the way to use the data, which charts need to be made and uploaded to drive by tomorrow morning. Details are being discussed. And suddenly my eyes drift to the lower right corner of my computer. Yikes! I should already be at the ice cream place!!!! Faith is waiting for me to unload her wheelchair!  I take my packed bag and rush out (with my keys and phone intact)!

  3. Oh, what a day for you! I locked my keys in the car once at school and I had to call my daughter to get the spare out of my jewelry box and bring it to me. A thirty minute drive!

  6. I hate when these things happen, but I'm so glad you found everything and that AAA came fast. And you tell the story with very good pacing, and the graphics really make it stand out. I forecast you are going to have a good year.

  7. And there are those days. . . I love AAA. They've saved me more than I can believe, mostly flat tires. I'm glad all the harrowing things that happened turned out well, Jaana. What a day!

  8. Your story could be mine. Always losing something and AAA has saved me more than once. Usually it's because I've locked the keys in the car. But I've never had them arrive in 10 minutes. Lucky for you!

  9. All well that ends well. Easy to say now, but I can imagine your feelings. I like that the day started with the gift of books and ended with an ice-cream.

  10. There are definitely days like that. If not for lists and keeping things in their place I would constantly be searching! Great post.

  11. The pace of your writing ebbs and flows with each new event, slowing in between locking your keys in the car and losing your phone. I especially like the aside that speaks to the Fitbit pace.
