It's a beautiful day here in New England albeit a little cool. However, the sun is shining and the Robins are hopping around the grass. Glorious!
Yesterday I managed to get locked out of my apartment. I stepped into the hallway to grab something and slam! A gust of wind blows the door shut. As luck would have it, my neighbor was leaving and I was able to summon him to my rescue. He calls the landlord and much to my dismay they are in Florida. "Did you give anyone a spare set of keys"? "No I didn't". "Do you have your car keys"? "No I don't". "How about your cell phone"? "Nope". I'm fucked.
Anders hangs up with the landlord and we circle around to the front entrance. My only chance is the two bedroom windows. Of the two windows, the one to the right is accessible by the balcony. The one to the left is a 3 story death wish. Let me give you a visual:
Of course, the 3 story death wish is the only one that is unlocked. Oivay! Despite being afraid of heights, Anders bravely straddles the railing. He reaches through the window and is about 4" shy from touching the lock. He asks me to open up his duffle bag which contains his drumsticks. He reaches through the window again and presto, unlocks the window. I am so overjoyed and shreik "I could kiss you"!
My first errand of the afternoon? The hardware store for 2 sets of spare keys. :)
Thank you Anders for your couragous feat.
