Yesterday I went to Mt. Orab, a town about 10 miles from us, to run various errands.
I live in the country-a rural area-that has a lovely view and perfect silence at night, but is a bit isolated.
I believe in the winter-time you can hear the snow fall. It is lovely.......the skyline is breath-taking.
So, I am in Mt. Orab-go to the Library-Post Office-Dry Cleaner----and then to the Grocery, and took my time.....it was dark when I come outside to my car with the groceries.
I go out to the car and unlock the door, and start unloading the groceries and....then...... I sling the keys in my hand, into a large bag, that I had used for the books and movies I had gotten at the library.
It is dark by now......even with a flashlight and the interior light from the car-I cannot find the keys.
The two young men-gathering carts---come over to help---going for a cart and xtra grocery bags---to unload each bag and see if the keys are inside.
No luck....Frustration is building.....building.....building......
I call my fiance' who is waiting for me to get home......and he states that our business partner has left already.
So I call said biz partner-and he is 1/2 hour away. So he sets out to come and take me, to get the extra key at home, and I go through the movie/book bag again---AND....there they are.
It was the most stressing evening---I have had in a while.....I was so aggravated.
It was nice to have help and it was good not to have all of my perishable food destroyed by the heat.
But, I realized----I was at a near panic when it was all said and done.
I knew-having opened the door with the keys---that they had to be there somewhere-in a car with tons of stuff in it..........it was nerve racking......so why couldn't I calm down and just find them?????
It is called stress. And exhaustion.......it can zap you......if you let it.
Needless to say---the drive home was in relief----total relief.
