A Good Idea

We have a small file box containing all of our really important documents that we can just grab and go in case of an emergency. As it so happens, we had just such an emergency today. I was glad to be prepared. You should be, too.

There was a really strong smell of smoke in our apartment. Upon investigating, I found it was coming from an apartment two doors down from us. I couldn't get in touch with our apartment manager, so I decided we would leave the building quickly, then call 911. I got Hal up from his nap, said we were playing a fun game to see how fast we could get his jacket and shoes on, grabbed the box and my wallet, and were just headed out the door when we ran into our manager. Someone had left something on the stove, but they had the "not quite a fire" under control.

Phew. That was scary.

Now we need to get a safe deposit box!

P.S. You know how "they" tell you to stuff wet towels around the door to keep out smoke? It works!
