Shit. I'm locked out of my apartment, and I can't rouse Polgara who has my spare keys. I have no apartment manager and my phone battery is dying. I've been in the ER all evening.
SHIT.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ack! If you lived in a cop-friendly place, I'd say call the police, because I know from experience that the Somerville cops know how to pick locks.
Me, I'm trying to pull myself together enough to get on the road and start Ubering. Uphill work this morning, even though I went to bed before GACK 10.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, ita! I hope you made it inside.
Sara, I just went and looked, and my good boots are Sperry. They are rain boots, but lined for a little warmth. At any rate, they are definitely waterproof, unlike my snowboots, which are warmer. Until they get wet over the laces.

Sara, mine are very utilitarian. Similar to these: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I want those.
Have I said here about how my boss can make everything sound shitty? Like, she's saying I do good work and she trusts me, but it doesn't sound that way by the time it reaches my ears? Randomly chatting just now, someone outside my department was saying that they've both been in early a couple of times, and my boss was like, "What are you doing here??" all snotty-sounding. I was like, "I'm sure she didn't mean it that way!" But I confess it's nice to have outside confirmation of how she sounds most of the time....

Yes, it is.I know I'll walk across broken glass for a boss who praises early and often.
In Uber news, I had a fare out to Newton, which I worried would strand me, but I picked up a $47fare to the airport in Brookline, so scored big. Currently sitting near Beacon Hill waiting...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope you are safely inside, ita!
Good luck with the boots, sarameg.

I hope lack of ita!news means she's inside and sleeping.
I just had my second jelly donut of the day... don't judge me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm worried about ita now.
