Shrewdness's Journal, 09 January 2021

Well, I am sitting in my car which is a little warmer and I have a plug for my phone so I can text and do some work, but you may ask and so why am I sitting in the car?
I went up the mountains on my own made it to the trailer, was so happy for I was going to set up for my husband’s birthday as he is in San Diego in a fishing tournament today and will be coming up the mountains to meet me here. Good thing for I forgot the key and my little dog has just stopped shivering. Put his warm sweater on and I got him two blankets to wrap in and he’s cozy warm now.
Actually, what happened is I was sick last year in the hospital, (not Covid) when I got home I couldn’t find my keys so got a whole new set made without the trailer key. 😬 I forgot these keys do not have a trailer key, but they will have if I can make it through the cold for about an hour and a half.🥶 I’m thinking if Mountainman can do it, I can do it - I think.😐
So much for surprising him for his birthday, the bad part is I’m sitting in here munching on crap and I had talked myself out of getting a latte before I came up the mountain, dang next time I’m getting a latte! ☕️😢 Back to munching.😐

OMG Shrewd, so glad you are warm and safe. And so is your little dog. I have a feeling your hubby will be quite surprised, just not in the way you'd planned.

Hope you are nice and toasty somewhere!

Being cold is awful! Being cold and having to wait, is the worse! Echoing what shir and DP said, hope you are comfy cozy. 😊

Dang keys! That's why I've gone to combination keypad locks. Now, what was that code again?

We were warm in the car Shirfleur, I drove off to a place where there would be lights when it got dark and then back to the trailer just before he got there. No surprise for him at all, he was beat - as I unpacked he tried to get the trailer heated. I served him chips and guacamole and we both dose off. I was warm in the car DP, but after so many hours in the car my rump was starting to hurt, good thing I hadn’t loss all my weight yet and still had a pretty good cushion. I know waiting is hard Becky, but now days it is OK if you have your working phone and your not scared of Bigfoot approaching. Les, you always crack me up! I want a combination lock for our door at home. It usually is a struggle to open and can cause me to curse like a sailor, probably worse. 😐 Yay OceanGirl, I think his birthday is Sunday now.😁

Glad you and your pup are warm and safe! Hope it will all be forgotten and you'll have a great time once he arrives.

If you had the latte then might need a bathroom sooner so probably a good thing. Hang in there!

Oh gosh. That sounds like something that would happen to me. Stay warm! ⛄

Glad you and your pup are safe and warm now. Thank goodness for a warm car and a working phone. Good thing it wasn't in a high crime area. That would be the worst.

glad you made it through. I was on a road trip one night and got caught in a very dense fog in the mountains. narrow road, twisties. I had to pull over and tried to sleep in the car. it was cold and scary, but better than driving off the side of the hill. mostly I sat, shivering until the next morning. 🥶

Glad you’re ok now. 🥰🥰

I am thinking, rather than waiting in the cold for an hour and a half - maybe it would be a use of your time to turn the car around and go for a drive to get that latte but by now, you, your little buddy, and husband are already snug in the trailer, maybe already on your way home and ready to face Monday morning....

Thank you Nikina and Strutzie, Liv and don’t do it Lonnie- it wasn’t that much fun.😐 Kattay I felt really safe just felt foolish!

Katsolo I too drove up the mountains when it was so foggy I couldn’t see the top of the hood of the car. I followed very very slowly the white line of the road. I was at my turn off which I could barely locate, when I turned I swear I thought I had turned off the cliff. I was so filled with panic and fear, but I was right where I should be - by the grace of the Lord!!!! I then creeped to the trailer and will never never never do that again!!!! I have nightmares still! I will do what you did and sleep in my car for it is better to be freezing cold than dead. You where smarter than me!😁

Thank you Diane, Wifey and Draglist. My husband wasn’t surprised, but as cold as I was for it was in the low thirties.

Skydiverjim that is all I thought about, weighing in on is it worth the drive down the mountain and then back up. Sometimes it can be a hairy drive. Made three wonderful lattes today.☕️😋👍
