so apparently while I was sick over the past two weeks I was really sick, with bronchitis. the doctor told me that i was having bronchiospasms, and because of medical terminology I know what those are.
but let me start at the beginning of my day. I called and made a doctors appointment because my mom told me I had to. so I did for 11:10. So I got all ready and I called my mom to tell her that I had an appointment and she told me that I had to call my dad about the keys because the only car that was left was the convertible and she said that she had 2 of the keys with her. well this car is a 75. back then they didn't make multiple sets of keys for cars.
so I called my dad's cell phone and there was no answer and I left a message. I called my mom back to get my dad's office number and I called there. the people there tried to 2-way him (bc he has nextel) and he didn't answer. this is all at about 10:40 . . . so I really needed the keys so that I could leave. That's about when I gave up on him and I went down to the key rack to search for keys. I found one, tried it in the ignition and low and behold it worked. I finally talked to my dad and he said that there wasn't a key for the car at home because there are only two keys to that car. I just told him that mom doesn't know what she's talking about. that's the simplest answer for everything.
then I had to opend the garage door which my dad closed because he didn't think that I would be driving anywhere as there was supposedly no key for the car. well my garage door is special. it is old and heavy and wooden and you have to pick it up on your own. so I try to pick it up and it got stuck. because guess what else? the door is broken. you have to pull down on the top panel of the door while pulling up on the handle to get the door up. unfortunately I am too short to do that. so I tried to use a shovel for leverage. and then I put a brick under the door to prop it up. finally I decided Why don't I jack the door up? So I had to use a car jack to break out of my garage.
in the end I was only a minute or two late, which apparently didn't matter because the doctor didn't actually come into the room for my 5 minute appointment until 12:30.
