So this morning, when I was going to work, I pulled the door shut behind me, and the doorknob promptly came off in my hand. I attempted to screw it back on, but had no luck, and eventually put it back on and shut the storm door before I went to work ( Read more... )

It was kinda fun, in an action hero sort of way, except I still don't know how to do it properly for real (i.e., when the door is locked).

Maybe I shouldn't have notified the police when I heard the disturbance then. I was certain someone uninvited was breaking and entering. And I knew it wasn't me.

But what were you doing in my house, Cat? If you just wanted to pet Callice, there are easier ways to go about it, you know.
