A sentence that only makes sense to us.

(AIFG)

Matilda broke the door to our garden and my contractor just pinged me because they don't have any replacement doors that look the same. And it's a small bummer because I don't really want it to look different. But we work with what we've got.

Grey morning in San Francisco but I'm dressed and ready for Pilates.

Matilda broke the door

Story?

Aw Dana, I'm so sorry.

Story?

It's the side door (facing the street) to the back yard and garden apartment.

You enter with a keypad code not a key.

Matilda and her bestie, Iris, were in the garden apartment and wanted to get snacks.

So they went out to the local corner store in a light rain.

Matilda did not bring her keys.

When they got back they used the code and it unlocked but the door had swollen in the rain and they couldn't get it open. And the rain started coming harder. And she did not bring her keys so she couldn't go through the front door and then back down to the garden apartment.

So they threw their tiny little 5'3" 110 lb bodies at the door (imagine the scene in Princess Bride where Westley is futilely throwing his body at a door to break it down until Fezzik needs to smack it down). Eventually they break the the woodframe around the door. After which it won't lock or close properly and our street facing door has been held close only by a 20 Lb barbell rammed up behind it.

Anyway it's now being replaced.

Aww, that's sad. I hope the replacement is to your liking.

Eventually they break the the woodframe around the door.

Ah, well, needs must. Good story though. "Remember that time...."

Aw, bummer about the door but that is a good story

New door is up! It looks fine. Tomorrow they finish painting it and put in the keypad lock.

Yay!

I am on vacation! I’m waiting in Penn Station, waiting for the train to Pittsburgh.
