What would you do if you get trapped at your own abode?
For the many times I had let myself out
and stayed at our laundry place, this the first time that I could hear my heart
thumping loud, adrenaline rush, "what to do?" and speedy thoughts
kind of feeling.
It's
not unusual that I close the door before sweeping the floors of our laundry
section. I'm aware though that there is
something wrong with the doorknob but never it crossed my mind that among all
days it has to happen today. Bang! The loudness of the bang sound when the door closed was as
loud as the bang that my mind yelped! No
way, highway! The lock malfunctioned and
locked me out. I'm way floooooooooors
away from help. Z is at school, I need
to pick him up at 2:30PM, Jack is at work and worst, I have no phone. Gosh! Oh
God. The Toilet's windows and the 2nd
room's windows are way too difficult to break in. Break the door knob but with what? Choices: plastic chair, broom, bottle, waste
basket, a stepper?? Last and worst
choice is to break the jalousie windows with my bare hands. Our kitchen sink has a 2 column windows made
of jalousies. It's of thick glasses,
always closed and locked from the inside(of course, why from the outside?!).
I had no choice but to try my luck.
I slowly lifted the 2nd piece of the jalousie and glad it gave way a
bit. I tried to reach the lock from the
inside but it requires more lifting. As
long as I can reach the lock and open it I don't care what happens next. I'll face the music afterwards. This is my make or break moment.
Thank
you Lord for the help! No amount of
relief to describe when I held the door open and immediately got inside. Whew!
Minor scratches and no broken window glass .... super whew!
That door badly
needs a new doorknob! What an
afternoon. I don't need coffee to keep
me awake as I'm too wide awake now!
Have a safe day everyone. Change what needs to be changed and don't be
like me, okay?! TTFN! It's almost 2:30PM and it's time to be a school
bus ☺ ☺.
