It’s all fun and games until 2 out of 3 elevators in your building break down.

Ryan and I arrived at our building tonight to find a line of people, our neighbors essentially, gathered around the corner by where the elevators are. I figured some event must be going on. And there was, if you consider a 30 minute wait to go up an elevator to your home an “event”. When Angry Old Man informed me of the situation and I heard babies crying, Ryan and I grabbed our Whole Foods grocery bags and sprinted for the other set of elevators.

We took the elevator to the 25th floor and then, with our new friends Curly Haired Girl and Bald lululemon-loving Man, we climbed the 11+ flights of stairs to our apartment. Thank goodness there is another set of elevators that at least goes up slightly less than half the building. Thank goodness we didn’t do heavy duty grocery shopping. Thank goodness we only bought one bottle of wine. On second thought, maybe that was bad…

We stayed put tonight, in case you hadn’t guessed. Ahh, the trials and tribulations of high rises.
