Yesterday morning I forgot my keys. Of course, I only realized this after a late arrival in the area where I live, a visit to three separate stores and a long walk home from there. After exhausting all other options, I hopped the fence into the backyard, semi-dislocating my hip joint in the process. Later, I hopped back over, waited a long time for a bus, spent a long time walking around downtown Alexandria trying to find a comfortable place to bide my time until my landlord got home from his baseball game. I ended up sleeping at a co-worker's house. I was very stiff this morning from all the walking, and from the weight of the books and store goods I was carrying in my purse through all of that.

I've been contemplating moving for a while, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back in deciding that I need to move. I'm just so very far away from everyone that I know, and the bus system in this area is crappy. Moreover, if I'm further in, I will have the possibility of regularly scheduled non-work activities, including non-walking exercise. Two people at my work are moving at the end of May, so I should probably wait until June to be better able to utilize the services and cars of people at work in helping me move.

I actually just talked to effani about her move, and didn't even bring up the fact that I'm contemplating moving. I'm still getting used to it.

In other news, I recommend Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon. When I was reading it, I wasn't able to put it down, and now that I'm not reading it, I miss it. His prose is wonderful.

I will be baptizing my new board games with halfsparkle and zenpenguin tomorrow. Yay! People at work think I'm some sort of board games fiend because I have occasionally talked about board games and having some sort of board games event.

Since almost everyone on my friend's list who posted their results got the opposite gender

I'm doubting this quizzes' veracity. Either each gender is more concious of their opposite's choices, or else only the people whose results might be surprising posted, or the quiz is ridiculous, or some combination of all three.
