So, a strange man tried to get into my apartment tonight.

Oh yeah, big fun.

I have a second-floor apartment with a front door on the first floor. My doorbell rang and as I was walking downstairs, I heard and saw my lock turning. WTF. I opened the door and said, “May I help you?” in most Miss Monique voice. He asked if I was so-and-so. I wasn’t. Then he took off! He was an older guy, in his 60s. Not at all who I expected to bust on in.
So I called the apartments, but they already had closed. So I called the police. Then I called maintenance. The cop just stopped by, and is back out in his car, waiting on the maintenance guy to show up so he can talk to him. My concern — and the cop’s — was that a master key is missing. Hopefully that’s not the case.

Soon I’ll have a new lock, but I’m sure I’ll still be jacked up tonight. When shit like this happens, I really don’t like living alone …

But wait, there’s more …

Young (and cute) Office Friendly stuck around (in his car, alas) until the maintenance guy came by with a new lock. The super-creeptastic part, as Office Friendly eagerly conveyed to me, is that my apartment complex doesn’t use master locks. The maintenance guys have to get the specific key, which is coded — i.e. the key to my unit does not say “Miss Monique’s Abode” on it. So everyone was all freaked out. But now I have new locks. And a glass of wine.

In other news, my massage was super fab. It was a bit chilly in the room — and I was in a communal room, although back in a dark corner — so I was cold when I wasn’t covered up, but the girl did a great job. I like firm pressure and that was her style. All for $35 — and no tips accepted! Score. I will definitely make that a regular part of my “maintenance.”

I also went to the car wash and Super Tar-Jay, and ended up moving a whole bunch of furniture around in my apartment. I still need a home for the second litterbox. The mysterious, missing “brush brush” still hasn’t turned up. I guess I’ll have to buy a new one tomorrow. Yay, PetSmart on a Saturday. Good times lol.
