I'm such an idiot
I went for a little jog today. God, I'm so unfit. Anyway, all I brought with me was my iPOD and a bottle of water. I thought I could get in using the spare key but when I got home I couldn't find it. AHH! I paced around a bit, searching under and inside the shoes. Nup, no key.
So then I went to my next door neighbor's house and asked if I could use their phone. It was SO HOT. I was sweating like a giant waterfilled pig. That doesn't sound very attractive now does it? I had to wait about 5 minutes for Maria to get off the phone. Then she insisted on kissing my cheek. My neighbors are Italian so touching is pretty normal for them. Being the socially awkward and completely inept person that I am, I thought she wanted to kiss me twice (once on each cheek) and I leant over to kiss her again on the other cheek but she turned away. So I was left trying very hard to make it look like I hadn't just tried to kiss the door. Did I forget to mention how hot and sweaty I was?
I called my mum first and she didn't seem to grasp the fact that I was essentially locked out of the house, so I gave up and called my dad. He said he'd come home right away. On my way out of my neighbors house, Maria patted me on the cheek and EW GROSS, I was SOOOO STICKY. Just thinking about what that must have been like for her makes me cringe.
I went back to my backyard and sat in the grass listening to my music. It was getting cold so I decided to go sit in the car. On the way, I thought I'd have another look for the bloody spare key. LO AND BEHOLD, it was just lying on the floor, about a meter away from where it was supposed to be. So I was sitting outside for half an hour but I WASN'T REALLY LOCKED OUT.
Oh, my dad is home.
Anyway, I think it must be a sign from the heavens above telling me not to exercise. Suits me!
With love,
Mel
