I woke up this morning to go to staff prayer and found myself locked in my bedroom!! I still don't know how it happened, its a very old door. I never lock it, but apparently it locks itself.
I don't have any tools in my room, nor do I keep my wallet in there (so I couldn't use a credit card either). I also didn't have my keys in my room, and Shera is the only person who has a key to my house...and she was at work in Center City.
I did have my phone and was able to let people know what was happening (which they thought was hilarious). Again, at the time I wasn't finding it so funny.
I did get a little freaked out at first. I live by myself, and waking up locked in my room sent my imagination everywhere. Did someone break into my house and lock me in my room? Did they take my stuff? Are they still in the house?
(Incidentally, no one broke in...).
So, how did I get out?
I kicked a hole in it and then crawled out!!
Seriously!
(This is my view once I got out).
Don't mess with me!! :)
Once I got out, I realized that no one had broken in, and was able to see the ridiculous humor in the whole situation.
I'm sure later I will have some grand spiritual revelation from this scenario. But for now, its just really weird!!

Oh no! I can imagine that that would be really scary at the time. I'm glad you are okay and are strong enough to kick your way out. Time to get a new door :)
