The thing about partnering with a very busy person is that you need to be constantly prepared. Weekends must be freed from routine to cover for the absence of the other. The storm last week saved me from taking the seemingly weekly trip to Silay for policing during regular shift and screening the applicants when the sun is up.
This week, I have no excuse to offer.
Since I was bushed from Thursday's activities which started with walking Choco to the Badminton venue (where Glen and Alexis were already, measuring the width of the court), fetching Summer and bringing her to the pool to watch the swimming competition, spending an unusually long lunch at Jade Restaurant with JD, Kz and Omil, swimming with the same bunch at the Hilltop Resort and updating my office desktop's OS into Windows 10, I was out of sorts when I woke up late this morning. With Coco to feed, laundry to wash, floors to mop and yard to sweep among other preparation for my night out of town, I honestly forgot to secure my house keys thereby managing to trap myself between a locked house door and a padlocked gate. Fortunately, I had my phone with me.
The first thing that came to mind was to ask sis for help but another naughty idea caught up with it and I ended up doing the latter.
I sent Glen a private message on Facebook of the circumstance. His unbelief was amusing I was afraid he'll ignore my SOS and leave me "imprisoned" until sis wakes up and rescue me herself. He said "How on earth did you let that happen?"
And so I waited. It seemed interminable. My relief was audible when I heard a trike stop by the gate. He opened the padlock himself before he handed me his keys for me to get mine inside the house. As I handed his namesakes for him to use for the day, he offered an excuse that it took him long to get a trike going my direction.
All is well.
