In my rush to get my mum out of her house, down the steps and into my car, I accidentally locked my keys in her house.
Her appointment was in ten minutes.
My mum had not brought her house key with her.
So I called a taxi to take us down the road to the medical centre (that cost $8, which my mum complained about even though she wasn't the one paying), then I called my brother to ask him to come and give us a lift back and let us back into her house.
While this was happening, my mum - who is obviously feeling much better lately, because she now has the energy to complain about everything under the sun - was telling me in a loud voice that she no longer wanted to get her injections because "everybody" says you only need to get them monthly rather than weekly.
My brother couldn't leave work any earlier than 6pm, so after her appointment I got another taxi to take mum and I back to my place. We would wait for my brother there.
That taxi cost just under $20.
We got home, my brother arrived, he drove us to mum's house and let us in.
I could not find my keys. Anywhere.
Then my brother found them outside on the grass, where I'd dropped my bag while helping my mum down the stairs two hours before.

Oh dear!! While it is good to hear your mum is feeling much better, what a most annoying thing it was re the keys!
Yes, although I sometimes wish my life could be more exciting, this is definitely not the kind of excitement I mean!
