other things I am not putting on Twitter because my mother reads it

Still waiting on car to get towed to the shop. (Accident happened in the very wee hours of Sunday morning; car was supposed to be towed early yesterday afternoon. Car was parked outside the house at the time — I’m fine.) Called the tow company just now for an ETA on the grounds that I want something delicious and I want to know how to schedule my time. 

Lady got snippy about it and told me to leave the keys under the driver’s side mat. 

I told her that I didn’t know if she’d heard about what’s been going on in this neighborhood lately (five gang-related murders, most in broad daylight, since the start of the year + a cop murdered in the middle of City Park Jazz a few weeks ago + several break-ins of houses and cars), but that would not be happening as I would like to have a car to tow and right now my car has a big target on it, as it’s visibly fucked up front and back.

She shut her mouth. Then she told me it’d be about two hours.
