still on my toes, just in case

I hope that the 4th time will not come. What about, you might ask? Well, since this morning, I had had the unpleasant experience of the alarm of my car going off, for no particular reason. It just blared, the shrill alarm disrupting the tranquility of the morning. (un)Luckily, I had had this experience before with my car. Else, I would probably not listen hard enough and would just shrugged off the noise as being not from my car.

Yes, it wasn't the first time that the alarm has gone off. No, I did not think that it is a big problem, but yes, I thought that this is troublesome thing to deal with. When this time it went off, i heard it. I stopped all that I was doing and rushed over to get my car keys and also the door keys. I had wanted to unlock the door, before the thought that I could just press the alarm button first, to stop the alarm from ringing, and saving everyone in the neighbourhood from the dreadfully shrill alarm sound. And so I did, it stopped, and fumbled to open the door.

Troubleshooting included opening and closing all doors, closing hard. Just in case, making sure that the doors are all tightly closed. And the sensors detected them as closed. I did not forget the boot of the car, opening it and had to use all my might to force a tight close for it. Satisfied, and thinking those actions would do it, I went inside, locked up, and continued what I was doing.

Second nasty interruption came again, almost less than ten minutes after restarted doing my stuff. I scrambled downstairs again, as fast as I could, got the keys and off the blaring alarm. This time I was perturbed. What else can I checked for, a non-mobile-interested girl?

Again, I did the opening and closing of all doors and boot. What else can I do, I had thought before deciding to give the bonnet of the car a check. Lifting the heavy bonnet needed two hands, and quickly I looked for the hook to hold it up. Yes, I cant hold that long, I am weak.

With the bonnet now firmly held up, I looked around at the engine, cracking my brain hard, thinking what can I look for. No, nothing came out, no ideas jumped out to help me, so I decided to do the routine check involving the various water levels, and car battery water level. That's all that I knew and know how to do.

I needed two tries to finally have the bonnet closed tightly. Locking the car, again, I went into the house, hoping that there would not be a third rush.

Alas, I was disappointed. Again, less than 10 minutes after, just long enough for me to receive a call and tip on this, the alarm went off again, uninvited. This time, I prepared, and made a quick dash to turn off the alarm. I think neighbours must be cursing me by this time. Babies, if there are any within close proximity definitely would have cried their lungs out.

Following the troubleshooting tip that I got from Him, which now I know was a wise one, I only opened the front passenger door. Fiddling the sensor stud, I tried to figure out how to check that tiny, unassuming thing, which of course at that time, was just the chief suspect. Again, the lack of knowledge on basic motoring showed. I did not what was the thing that I could do, so instead, I merely just touched and pressed a little, basically fiddling with it, but with big big hopes that it might do the trick. Reckoning the fiddling amount was enough, I closed the door, locked the car and went in.

This time, I went to upstairs to get a bottle of water and a book, preparing to standby the door, waiting for the fourth to come. I managed to read about dozen pages, taking almost half an hour, when I decided that I was finally going to be let off peacefully, at least for now. And yes, until now, it has been quite, and almost three and half hours had passed since the last shrilling alarm went off.
No, I'm not resting yet, still on my toes, just in case.

On another count, I feel the third (3rd) visit to the loo for the day will be here soon, sigh. Yes, juggling between these two counts is a very unpleasant experience. Hope no one else will have to experience it.
