    I had this thought all the way to the airport, once. Got on the plane without knowing the answer for sure.

    I did lock the door, it turned out.

    I got a 9 volt battery three weeks ago for my multimeter, at home I put it aside somewhere the cats wouldn’t get at it to play with it and lose it on me.

    I haven’t seen it since. I have no clue where I could have put the damned thing.

      Get a new battery and in a couple of days the original battery will appear in a place you have checked multiple times.

        Ya I picked up another one about a week ago now, so hopefully the first one shows up any day now.

    I have a lock that I can check the status of on my phone, and even lock it from my phone if I forgot. It’s really good for my peace of mind. No more getting up in the middle of the night to check the lock.

    The trick that I’ve used also works for OCD: Say it to yourself. “The door is locked.”

    Works pretty well.

      Speaking it out loud is a great way to remember many things.

      “Keys, wallet, phone” as you get ready.

      “Door’s locked” as you leave.

      “Oven’s off”

      Etc

      The door is locked.
