Extended Stay....

....in a bathroom.   Yep that's right, I got an extended stay in the bathroom yesterday.  I did my morning routine, just as usual yesterday, but when I got out of the shower and brushed my teeth, I turned around to head out of the bathroom.   However, I didn't open the door, not because I didn't want to or something caught my attention, but the door wouldn't open.   I could not get the little level to turn to unlock the door.   Not wanting to yell or cry out loudly to get someones attention to help me out, I tried a handful of different options.   I fiddled with the level over and over, trying to turn it this way or that, trying both directions and such variations.  All with no luck.  I figured that I could try to use a non-body part to pry the lever open.  I tried my nail clippers and my tweezers, both with no success.  So I tried to unscrew the lock contraption thinking that if I can take it off, I can force the lock open.  However, I had little tools to work with being stuck in the luxury of the bathroom.   I tried all that I could find: tweezers, nail clippers, and a nail filer.   None worked.    I didn't have my phone with me nor did really want to yell.   (Keep in mind that this bathroom is in the basement and I am the only person who sleeps in the basement).  I knew that everyone was up and moving - and some had already left for work or school.   So, all throughout the processes and attempts mentioned above, I spent a good amount of time knocking on the walls.   Louder and louder.    Still with not any visible success, I tried to knock in different ways.  I tried knocking on various parts of the wall, on the door, on the counter top, and on the vent.  After 15-20 minutes, I finally got the idea to try to lift the door up and open it, that worked!! Yeah!!
