Literally realized, “how will I put this stuff in the car in order to have my hands free to grab the keys if I don’t have the keys” and turned around just in time to see the door fully closed.
And I always turn the latch to lock itself when I step outside, or I’d never remember to lock the door.
Thank goodness for the hide-a-key with a house key stuck in the filth on the underside of my car.
It’s repetition
For about ten years I locked myself out of the house on average about once a year, sometimes more.
Now, grabbing the keys on my way out is automatic … I physically can’t leave without thinking of the house key anymore.
And even if I did … I have a back up key in my wallet … and a hidden key on my garage … and a key in a lockbox under the porch … and one in my truck … and probably a few more I forgot about on my property somewhere.
Funny thing is … once I started hiding back up keys all over the place, I stopped locking myself out of the house.
nice house you have there
About six months of the year, you need a shovel to get through the snow and ice to find the keys
