I'd think about taping a note on the door:

Realtors: Please ring bell and wait, before entering the apartment.

People walking without announcement into my home are likely to receive a sword to the gut. Or a cat to the face.

Sadly, I own neither. I really should get a sword.

Nope, and I am not going to bother to install one, since I hope we'll be giving our notice soon.

See, now, this is the point at which I would be installing one and start keeping it on the chain except when the boyfriend is expected home. Then I would start thinking about ways to get out of the appartment other than the door. Got any convenient windows that can readily be pulled down behind you? If for no other time than when you have moved all your stuff to your next place and are ready to drop off the key.

Babies seem to get a ton of very tiny outfits because, well, they're so adorable and wee, and then they hit 6-9 months and nothing fits.

Very true. I dealt with this phase by going nuts at the second hand store.

I really should get a sword.

Every well equipped home should have one. They won't go off accidentally, they don't need loaded, you're not going to hit the person across the street by accident--unless you're very strong as well as clumsy--and you can use it to open packages and prepare dinner in a pinch.

We actually have two doors, but a key doesn't exist for the other door.

Ok. Waiting to hear from allergist directly (nurse thought I should talk to him). Not going to class. Canceled my spa day for tomorrow, because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be told to stay inside for a few days and do regular neb treatments (after a while, you just learn what they're gonna tell you). Also, just ordered a pizza, 'cause I have no more food in the house.

Now to figure out if I can order groceries without a debit card, since my new one hasn't come yet. I think Peapod has so you can set it up to come directly out of your checking account. Hopefully that is the case.

Toes!

Clearly, we need to invest in more bubble wrap. {{{delicate Bitches}}}

Y'know, when Hec and I were out walking on Friday, we went to a china shop with huuuuuuuge people sized rolls of bubble wrap outside. We thought of buffistas.

sj, I stand firmly behind connie on people just walking into the house. No, seriously, right behind her and out of swinging range.

vw, I'm sorry you had to cancel spa day. Feel better, and best of luck getting your groceries delivered.
