Television is a lie! You know how on Buffy, our fearless heroine easily kicks down doors with nearly no effort? Well, in real life, it's difficult to break down a door. I know this because this morning, I locked myself out of my bedroom. Truman had been meowing all night, so around midnight I had sleepily shut him out of my room by locking the door. Unfortunately, I forgot to unlock the door after I woke up, and then I shut the door, and on and on.
First I tried shoving the door with my shoulder, but that hurt a lot. Next, I swung my hips at it, but that hurt, too. I tried slamming against the door with my hands, but I hadn't removed my new slippery-soled shoes, and I fell to the carpet. Truman chortled. Finally, I took off my shoes and kicked the door as hard as I could. Still nothing. How frustrating.
Chicago is humid and grey today. It's beautiful and welcome.
