Had a nightmare getting to work. Garage door is manual so have to park in driveway to shut the door. Got stuck so called in saying I can't leave my driveway and have to shovel to put car back in garage. Realized I shifted into neutral so once in drive, eventually got car back in garage. But garage door gear is frozen and won't turn. Front door lock wouldn't accept key so went to back door in knee deep snow, kicked in the gate latch that was frozen and struggled to open back door lock. Garage door opened, I got the car in scratching my front fender struggling to steer. Once got traction from garage, I was able to gun it through the snow and far enough from door to move forward. Shut the door, got out of driveway, and got stuck on a side street. Reversed enough downhill to get traction to move uphill and to a main street that was plowed. Once on main street, I was fine and got to work 18 minutes late complete with anxiety attack. Which means it took me 45 min minutes to get to work on a normal 15 minute drive. Phone died so couldn't call them to say I was coming. Stopped relief before he left his home. Finally calmed down to breathe normal again after a couple of hours. Getting home was OK until I got stuck in my driveway. Got out 6 times with the shovel and car still wouldn't move. Grab the kitty litter for traction and I struggled to steer to avoid hitting the car against the door again, but I got it in without another scratch on the front fender. Changing into pjs and having a cup of cocoa. My dress pants and socks soaked (booties are not waterproof). My tights under pants are a good barrier.
