I've been sick for the last week. The illness morphed from headaches and stomach bugs to stuffy nose and scratchy throat with a touch of a cough. Anyway, I was sitting on my futon desperately wanting food and something hot to sooth my throat so I decided a 30 second trip to the bodega was in order. A dollar and change later I would have Lipton's Noodle Soup in my possession and all would be well. I grabbed my wallet and headed downstairs where my super was hanging in the lobby.
"Hey, Christine. How's it going?"
"Hi. ... I left my keys in my apartment."
"Oh."
"And my phone."
"What are you going to do?"
I stood in the lobby stupidly for about 30 seconds thinking "what am I going to do". When it dawned on me,
"I'll go see JP at his office."
And I did. Because I keep my metro card in my wallet and so I hopped the train into midtown. JP handed his keys right over - he didn't even want me to come back to give them back - and I hopped right back on the train.
I stopped at the bodega on my walk home from the train and got my soup as well as some ginger beer and let myself back in with JP's keys. My 30 second trip to the store ended up being about an hour but I got my soup and I'm back sitting on the couch.
This isn't going to help the super's notion that JP and I are a couple. Haha.
