OH! Number 11. Pair 'o legs.

So it's a really, really good idea, when you drive to your regular hospital at an irregular time and park in an irregular lot to visit an irregular floor to actually, you know, make note of where your vehicle IS before you trot off. Perhaps a mental note. Or an actual note. Or a digital note. Or a picture of the lot marker.

This prevents the exhausting act of, hours later when in dire need of bubbly caffeine therapy (read: a fix), walking around in circles (read: limping, as there was this one toenail in need of a trim), in hurricane winds and four inch heels, trying to locate said vehicle for the better part of a quarter of an hour (read: a steady stream of audible and inaudible expletives. Enter your favorite here. I'm sure it made the rounds.)

Found! Enter car, start engine, mentally locate the nearest beacon of Edible Liquid and Solid Minions of Lucifer and engage cognitive GPS towards set point.

Seven minutes later I'm called back to same hospital. The same floor. The same parking lot.

Which brings me to Part II of this episode (bonus!):
