Sophia, I hope the locksmith comes quickly and you can stay calm until you can get out.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Locksmiths will have heard and seen it ALL, so don't be embarrassed!

Also, you can take some heart that if the locksmith "sees" your place, he's going to be wondering why the city would have deemed it uninhabitable. So there's that!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Late to the travel recommendation party, but Spain in general and Salamanca in particular is my favorite of all the places I've been to date.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tonight's classic from my mother: Young Sheldon is on the TV, with Annie Potts. My mother's like, "It's depressing that she's the grandmother, because I always think of her as my age!" I did not say Annie Potts is younger than my mother, but I DID say there's no reason she doesn't have teenaged grandchildren! Literally lol.

Lol, does your mother not realize you are old enough to have had teenagers at this point, even though you obviously don't??

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sj, I'm just enough younger that it wasn't HS for me, but I watched the SHIT out of Gargoyles.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
So, I ended up going to bed after the locksmith came. He removed the lock, so I can get out. But I can't lock the door. He confirmed it was broken. I do have to get the landlord to replace the lock, obviously because now there is a hole in my door!

That's really annoying, Sophia!

Thrive to spite them
Sophia I have my fingers crossed that this will get resolved soon so you can have a working lock and no notice on your door and be able to enjoy your home without the atress.
Going back when I was talking about plantar fasciitis I realized I had been stretching as much as I should and haven't been icing my foot so I've been more diligent. I need better slippers. I had a pair of lined crocs but am missing one and the LL Bean slipped I have don't have much support and they are too warm so I don't wear them. So I am looking for alternatives.
I am also trying to navigate living in a house with someone who has the opposite temperature needs as me. Matthew's mom is so cold natured and I am so hot natured it has been a struggle to find a balance. Yesterday Matthew and I went up to see mom and when we came back the nasebaord heat was on and the living room windowac/heat unit was set at 85.
Not only is his mom extremely cold natured but she hates wearing layers of clothes and would prefer to just "strip down to nothing but my skin" (according to what she said last night). On the other hand I like feeling "cozy" and look forward to winter and the house being cold so I can layer up. But right now I would settle for the house being at a temperature where I don't have to immediately change into summer weight clothes as soon as I get inside so I don't start sweating.
