welcome mat

Am certain that snooze button is going to break from this morning's over-usage. Or go on strike for unnecessary use of force.

Hastily got ready and as was ready to walk out the door, found that keys were nowhere to be found. Until a few days ago, said keys were attached to my wallet, and therefore nearly impossible to misplace. Nearly. Am capable of losing anything. It's a gift.

Frantically searched for keys. Dumped out purse. Combed through laundry. Even accused Kitten of having hid them as to prevent yours truly from leaving the apartment and spending energy on someone or something else. After twenty minutes, and fearing for security of monkey job, decided to give up and leave the door unlocked. Flung the door open and... jingle, jingle... fucking keys were hanging in the lock.

Should just save everyone time and effort and put out neon sign: Axe Murderers Welcome Here.

Foolish, foolish girl.

Been there done, that.

I am notorious for locking my keys in my apt. Lucky for me the building has spare copies to each apt. or I'd be spending a fortune on new locks.

You were very, very lucky!

That's the whole reason I never put glasses/sunglasses on the top of my head. I'd lose them for daaaaaays.

Isn't it amazing how when that happens, your house does not get broken into, but if you lock it with an alarm, it does?

I woke up one morning to find I'd left the apartment door ajar the entire night. I must have come in with the groceries and forgotten to return to the door to close it. Thankfully, I live in a building with quiet and polite Asian students who wouldn't think of break and enter or murder. But duh... scary.

I can not even count how many times I have done that!
