Bowel Prep Kit

Locked myself out of the house this morning. Car was locked and key was in the house.

Walked to the fire station and rang the bell. No answer. knocked on the door. No answer. Knocked on all the windows and doors available to me. No answer. Banged on the door. Nothing. My plan was not to disturb the firemen nor to exercise myself. I thought that the firemen might help me by letting me use a phone to call a locksmith.

Continued walking. Entered a real estate office run by the widow of the realtor who brokered the deal when I bought this house. She helped me find the number of a locksmith and to dial that number. I had locked my glasses in the house.

The locksmith said that he was on the low desert, but could be back in the area in less than an hour, probably.

Continued walking. Went to the drugstore to pick up a "bowel prep kit" for my coming procedure.

I am in the house now. Paid the locksmith $60, cash.

Can't Get to the Drugstor by Myself

No longer am I able to travel by myself. Now it seems I am no longer able to go to the Drugstore by myself.
This morning I headed for Algodones on the boarder. Took care or a few errands locally. The last two were to pick up cash a bank ATM and put gas in the old Astro. As I left the ATM I was called to by a man just a bit younger than I. He had my ATM card in his hand. I thanked him and headed for the gas station. Then I drove down 62 to 10, west on ten, cut over to 8, and on west toward Yuma. Turned south on the Andrade/Algodones cut off, past the new casino across the canal, and began the turn into the Indian parking lot. I was just than that I remembered that I had forgotten my passport. Turn around and headed home. Only got lost once.
I'll try again in the morning.

This is not the first time I have forgotten passport on this trip. Nor is it the first time I nearly lost my debit card. It is the first time I did both on the same trip.
I do have the excuse of being sick and headachy on this trip. However, I have been either sick or headachy or both most of the time for the last two years.
Might be getting close to time to give up.
