AHHHHH!!!!

OK, so after weeks of hemming and hawing over this or that and fretting over details..... I have finally purchased a brew kit and all the ingredients to brew a robust porter from scratch. EXCELLENT! So, I was going to tackle the task Sunday night (7/15), but got bogged down with other stuff. So, the backup day was today (7/16). The Kitchen is spotless and rearranged to make room for equipment. Dinner has been cooked, eaten, and cleaned away. All that is left is to buy spring water at the Kroger three blocks away.

So I pop over and spend longer than I wanted to in line (this would become the absolute least of my worries.) Head back home and pull out the strong sturdy keychain and WHAT?!? NO KEY?

Somehow the only key I need to get into my apartment is totally vanished from my keyring. The keyring, I will add, that I use SPECIFICALLY because it never opens enough for keys to be removed even when you want it to. I have broken hardened steel blades trying to pry that bitch open enough to slip a key on or off.

So now its 10:40pm and i've been inside the door maybe 10 minutes (thanks to our temporary neighbors who saved us by tossing down a keychain). The universe has won... I will not brew tonight.

But tomorrow... oh tomorrow it's on!
