Wish I could have all he has got

...Spike and Squish and I just spent the night on the floor in the communal hallway. Because I'm a fucking idiot.

Mum went to hospital yesterday with pericarditis. That's not why I slept in the hallway. Except it kinda sorta is. I slept in the hallway because when I had to walk over to Mum's house yesterday to feed her cat, I didn't take my dogs with me. Maisie isn't used to them any more and would have been a bit freaked, especially without Mum there.

But I took my keys off Spike's leash to go to Mum's house. And when I took the dogs for a last pee at midnight, I forgot I hadn't put the keys back on his leash. And I locked my fool self out.

According to the man from the Council that let me in this morning, their emergency number for idiot tenants with key issues is manned 24/7. So I could, in theory, have got let back in last night. But I didn't know that, and besides, I had to wait for a neighbour to be awake enough to answer a knock at the door and kind enough to look up the number and make the call for me.

Note to self: Give spare key to downstairs neighbour. I never want this to happen again.

she is, she's coming home today. Me, I'm either going to give downstairs neighbour a key or start wearing one round my fucking neck. I mean, this is exactly why I keep it on the fucking dog leash - because I KNOW I'll lock myself out at the drop of a hat.

I have, actually, had worse nights. I mean, I spent two years living in an abandoned car/ a tent in a park/ a half-demolished abandoned building. So one night in my own warm hallway snuggled with my dogs, not in heroin withdrawal and knowing that access to my own home was only a few hours away, was not as bad as some nights I've been through. But I'd still have rather not.

Good that she's well enough to come back home, and glad it's all back to safe and Home! Indoors! (And thanks for the reminder that I'm not the only one in the world who does dorky stuff like that. )
