This spring after a lengthy wait a garage key arrived! I am so excited about this wonderful convenience. Such a small thing but it makes my life so much more easier. (we weren’t given a garage key because we aren’t allowed to park our car in it.)
When we moved into our 4th floor apartment last August we were given a key to the front gate that also opens our front door and makes the elevator go up and down.
Unfortunately we weren’t given a key to open the garage from the outside. So when I carry home groceries, suitcases, or heavy things I have to leave them sitting in the driveway (and risk theft) and go up two set of stairs, then down the basement stairs to open the garage from the inside to carry things through the garage to the elevator.
Or carry the items up the two sets of stairs to the elevator on the labeled “1st floor” (2nd floor in my mind) which then can ride me up to our apartment.
With the arrival of the garage key I can open the automatic garage door and walk right in! Ah it is so nice!

Since I bring 99% of my grocery shopping products home on foot inside my black leather “shopping cart” this is a really nice wonderful happy advancement in my routine! And has resulted in my right arm, that I injured last summer, finally healing! Yippee!
