Monday, the 13th

5:30 a.m. – Alarm goes off.

5:40 a.m. – Get out of bed and bundle up to go on walk.

5:50 a.m. – Force Sydney out of bed with her harness on.

5:53 a.m. – Grab hat before walking out door. It is cold and rainy out there.

5:55 a.m. – Walk out door as a goup discussing returning faulty Netflix.

5:56 a.m. – Turn around to get Netflix to deposit it in mailbox.

5:57 a.m. – Realize door is locked and nobody, not even Sydney, has a key.

5:58 – 6:15 a.m.  – Attempt to break into own home while staring at two sets of keys through window.

6:15 a.m. – Call locksmith using Barry’s iPhone (Thankfully, he takes it EVERYWHERE.) and are told to wait for the tech (they’re no longer called locksmiths apparently) to call.

6:20 a.m. – Call work to alert them to awesome status. Play Frisbee with Sydney.

6:40 a.m. Tech calls and says he’ll be there in 20 minutes or so. Feed fish with Barry.

6:42 a.m. Call mom and tell her about awesome status.

6:50 a.m. Ask Barry if he can mirror the dance moves that you are doing. He gives it a try, but it looks unimpressed with the game…he’s probably cold.

7:00 a.m. – Tech arrives and looks like a college student.

7:20 a.m. – Listen to the train whistle blow. That was Barry’s train, but he’s decided to ride his bike.

7:30 a.m. – Turns out tech probably is a college student. He can’t seem to open 2 different doors, even though he keeps trying the same tool and technique.

7:45 a.m. – Tech finally gets door open.

7:46 a.m. – Write $175 check to tech. This amount is WAY over what we guessed it would be. Boo on that.

7:47  – 8:00 a.m. – Get ready at a whirl-wind pace and leave for work.
