I took my car key to the beach today in a waterproof bag that apparently wasn't good enough. In the past I've triple protected it with a plastic bags and tissues and it came out fine, but I forgot to do so today.
Can I get another key made, and/or this one fixed, at a locksmith? Would it be cheaper than the dealership?

Electronics kinda do work/don't work. At first I wasn't able to unlock my car, so I did so manually and was able to drive home fine. Tried taking the car back out to go somewhere else later this day after attempting to dry the key off with tissues, and now the car thinks I'm an intruder (I bet it's due to some electronic key thingy in the fob that recognizes me as the owner?) and won't start. Then later on the car started beeping locked randomly, and alarm going on and off till I took the battery out, so something's gotta be doin' something in it.

I asked her if she wanted to meetup and spend time together at, and after a 10k race the day before mother's day (today), for breakfast. Then day of, we could've found somewhere to eat breakfast at, either nearby, or downtown to go walk around after eating if she wants to drive an extra 20 minutes into the city (I live in Savannah, GA so it's a city where you can go for coffee, and a nice walk afterwards in the Historic Downtown area. She lives in a rural town 1hr away from the race place, then another 20min from there to downtown. Or 1hr 10min straight to downtown.)
I know it sounds like my plan, and it was, but my intent was to give an opportunity to circumvent my own social inadequacy, by giving what I felt, to be a higher quality meetup, rather than simply going to her place and just... sitting around I guess. Not much of anything to do there I feel, hence I moved out in the first place. Also, I believed that the endorphins from the race would've helped me be able to talk better than I usually do, plus it would've given a topic to talk about rather than just small talk.
I didn't like... tell her my thoughts which might be my failing, just asked her if she wanted to do so about a month ago which she responded to with a heart reaction, which I assumed to be a yes, and looked forward to it for the past month, and showing off what I can do (beat my PR by 5min 15sec). Then she got sick a couple days ago, and decided yesterday to not come due to the rain. Races are only canceled in event of SEVERE weather, not just rain, so I was doing it regardless. I feel like if she really wanted to go, she could've just taken some meds, grabbed an umbrella, and still went. That's what I would've done at least if I were in her shoes, unless I was feeling completely bedridden shitty, in which case I would've told my son so, and apologize for not being able to make it, rather than simply "I'm not making it to the race tomorrow, says strong storms for tomorrow", "Yuck, I'm already sick with a kidney infection, I don't need to get sicker" (Reddit's being dumb, won't let me unbold from here).
Thing is though, she didn't even bother waking up early to at least check the weather and how she felt, like I would before deciding to call out of work or not from sickness. Am I being selfish due to wrapping time spent together around stuff that *I* believe to be a way to spend quality time together? And would I be the asshole if I don't show up to Mother's Day due to feeling let down? It wasn't originally HER idea, it's mine, but this is the first time I've bothered asking a family member to be at a race for me, cuz I felt I would've just been asking them to go out of their way for something I wanna do. Only reason I bothered this time, was because I also planned on doing something for them, too.
Forgot to mention: Forecast morning of said no rain.
I'm talking both smaller local, and bigger event races, seperately. I just did a smaller 10k race and got second place out of 40, with a time of 50:40. When I race, I always go out wanting to COMPETE, maybe not intentionally trying for a top placement, but I always "compete" against my past self, with the goal of doing "the best I can" every race. I've somehow gotten better and better with each occasional race I do, but I consider myself an "intermediate runner", knowing that there are so many others faster than I out there.
Am I facing imposter syndrome, or do most people actually TRY to do their best like I do, and I am in fact, pretty decent? I personally do not care about how I perform against those whom don't try and compete to the best of their ability, rather, race "just for fun". I consider them a separate category. I care about my performance against those whom are "competitive" like me.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that doing a race just for fun is a bad thing, nor am I trying to put down those who do. I do it for fun too, but fun isn't the ONLY reason I do so. I just wanna compare myself to those whose priorities in running are similar to mine.
Does anyone happen to know of any Umamusume fanfics where a trainer trains a mob Umamusume to become as strong, or stronger than the main characters? I think it'd be an interesting idea to watch some TRUE "nobody" (sorry Nice Nature, you don't qualify as a nobody. You get third place a lot.) grow to be a pro.
