urocyonI just felt very silly indeed. I nearly had a repeat of this incident.
The bell rang, and it turned out to be a package delivery. Naturally, I closed the inner door so that the kitties wouldn't go trotting out. Still being half-awake probably didn't help my memory that (a) I know full well by now that it locks when it's shut all the way, and (b) I was still wearing my nightdress, with no key handy. I only put all this together after I'd signed for the package and turned to go back in.
At least this time, the back door was unlocked, since I'd been stumbling in and out in the morning routine of filling bird feeders and watering plants. No run across the street to get someone to call a locksmith was required, just a hike around the house--through tall, wet grass, by a busy street, in my nightdress--and a climb into the back garden, trying to avoid the compost heap.
It was still a silly start to the day.
