oops

[gilana]

I accidentally left the house naked today.

Well, ok, not really naked, but I sure feel that way without my purse. My purse that holds my house keys, T-pass, wallet, cell phone, palm pilot, work ID, pen for the crossword... I spent a while casing my house trying to find a way to break in, then went next door to my landlord's house to see if they were home and could let me in. Just as I reached the door, someone came out -- one of their tenants who lives in another apartment in the house. We rang the landlord's bell to no response, but when I explained my plight and asked him if I could borrow a quarter to add to the dollar in my pocket to get me to work, he handed me a twenty-dollar bill and just said to return it in the mail slot when I can.

So I've made it to work, and got a temporary badge for the day, and I have coffee and food (my flight was delayed last night and dinner ended up being a soft pretzel in the airport and a Luna bar on the plane at 10:30pm) and I think I can make it through the day. Next step is to call my roommate and ask what time she'll be home. It's way better than having it stolen, it's only an inconvenience for the day, but grrr. Just can't believe I did that.

Go ahead, get our hopes up...

Seriously though, I hope it does not inconvenience you too much and you find it all when you get home.

It's been a while since I've done that, but it's the most annoying thing in the world when it happens. Wishing you a speedy day so you can get home to your purse.

Oooh, I hate it wen I do that! My sympathies.

Lately I've noticed I feel oddly undresses without my cellphone, too. It's so weird how quickly things become part of us.

Aww. Feel better!

I have the same problem with my key card. If it's not attached to my pants at all times, I'll lose it. It feels weird without it. The same goes for my cell phone.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Me too with the key card. On weekends I keep feeling for it and it's not there, and I can't stand it!

i know i'm way far away from your house, but if you need a place to crash until your roomate gets home, you're always welcome to come here.

[gilana]

Awww, thanks, hon. I should be ok -- she usually gets home pretty early, and I'm supposed to be on-book for Mare tonight so I don't really need to get home until late. But I appreciate the offer.

Well, it's also comforting to know that breaking in isn't all that simple and you wouldn't have checked for that otherwise. :) Still, no fun.

[gilana]

Well, if I had really been willing to break, it would have been trivial. But yeah, without breaking glass it's tricky.

you do the crossword in pen?!
*impressed*

[gilana]

It's just the Metro one -- it tends to be pretty easy, and they re-use a lot of clues. I do have to to scratch out some answers sometimes, but it's easier to write in pen on a moving train for me.

Is there another way to do crosswords? Pencil is just too hard to read!
