misfortune (+++) :D
Peg left the keys to our hosts' house AND her phone in the guest room while we went out for groceries, because "it'll be fine."
"It'll be fine" seems to be a very NOLA sort of concept. It does not work for me.
Yeah. Our hosts went out to get dinner while we were gone, and we got locked out. It was JUST to the point where it was going to make up its mind whether it was going to be romantic comedy or romantic tragedy, when they pulled up into the driveway... and saw Peg trying to break in by vaguely waggling a toy lightsaber through the catdoor.
So yeah. Definitely comedy. I love my ditzy-ass dragoness, but I do hope this will be a lesson in the whole notion of "measure twice, cut once" that seems to elude these whimsical creatures of air and fire. :)
re: misfortune (+++) :D
Honestly, though, I'm kinda glad it happened, 'cause I was still stressing about a bunch of other situations that are probably resolved for the best, but my hindbrain hadn't quite accepted no longer needed to be fretted over.
And man, there's nothing like being locked out for an hour, and then getting back inside for a nice dinner, to reset your concept of what to worry about. :)
