Comedy or Errors

Yesterday
So I got home from work yesterday and found a FedEx delivery tag on the door, but it said they left our package at 1324 St Katherines Way. What the heck?!  +Joanne Turek and I walked across the street to 1324, but no one came to the door. JoAnne was working the concession stand at a wrestling match at school, so we just decided to try again later and off she went.
I decided to take the dogs for a walk to the entrance and back, then when I got back I changed the cat litter from up stairs. As I was going back to the house from the curb where the garbage barrel was located, the neighbor from across the street came up to me with "the package!"
I took it inside and put it with another box we had received the day before. I texted JoAnne and told her I had the package.

Me: The man across the street saw me walking the dogs and brought the package over.
JAT: K what is it?
Me: A paste board box with something inside
JAT: Hmmm
JAT: Well open it lol
Me: Argh
Me: I don't think I was supposed to open it yet. It is for me
JAT: Well don't open it
JAT: LOL
ME: Now it is too late, chuckles!
JAT: What is it?

JAT: Uh oh. I didn't realize that was coming feed ex (sic)
Me: Did you mean: Feed ox?
JAT: Yep
JAT: Hope you like it
ME: I do! Just not sure what to do about it. At least I have proof you told me to open it
JAT: Enjoy it.
So that is how Christmas came early to South Carolina.

Today
The circus continued this morning, but with not so much a happy ending. I got up as usual about 0520, got dressed and took out the dogs. I know I had my keys since I took the truck key off the ring to start the truck so the windows would defrost. I went back in, packed my lunch, kissed JAT goodbye and headed off to work. When I got to work, I got out of the truck, grabbed my bags, and reached into my pocket to get the truck key - and discovered I had two truck keys, two car keys, two house keys. Yup. Somehow I managed to grab both my keys and JAT's keys. She has no way to get to work. KRASNY OKTYABR!!!! I jump in the truck and head back to Rock Hill. I tried to call, but I think JAT was in the shower and didn't answer. Tried again at about Carowinds. About the time I passed the Ft Mill exit she calls me and asks if I know where her keys are. I tell her yes. They are at Ft Mill exit but should be home by 0715. She thinks about it and then says she will call Lisa and ask for a ride so I don't have to come all the way home. Short story, she got her ride. I will pick her up at school after work and I got back to the office avoiding most of the rush hour traffice by 0730. Thanks, honey! Guess I owe you dinner and a movie when I get home :-)

Shakespeare, eat your heart out!
