Some days you get up in the morning and just know it's one those "start over" days. That was yesterday. Today I woke up and promised myself it would be a better day. And that appeared to be debatable when I arrived at work. Got out of the car, pulled out the rolling briefcase, juggled car keys vs. work keys and started to walked toward the building. I passed over a storm grate just as I gave a nice energetic flip to the massive key chain and guess what?
Uh huh. They flew through the air, I missed them on the downward flight and they landed on the grate...for a second. Before they slipped between the holes and down...
Well, crap. Maybe today wasn't meant to be any better. But--there's always a bright side, right?
The drain is only 3 feet deep. The keys landed on a pile of leaves. I could see them! I just needed to get them back out. Which my cleaner, Moacir, did quickly with an old coat hanger. Don't ask what kind of deities left a single wire coat hanger in the booth--because we don't actually get them with uniform orders any more. But let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.
The moment of panic passed. My keys are back in my possession (you would not believe the kind of headache my keys getting lost would create) and the day is getting on.
Hope you have a great day!

I'm scared to death that will happen too me! Thank goodness you were able to retrieve them.
Hope the day turns out much much better! Love the TED case too.
