and it's not over yet. Last night we went to take in the underwhelming cinematic achievement that is HP and the Order of the Phoenix then came home to find that our house had been burglarized. It was one of those 'it could have been worse' situations. They/he/she didn't trash anything beyond a pane of glass on the front door and some food from the freezer, plus dumping some boxes of stuff. The cat wasn't injured in any way, apart from being annoyed. But they stole my laptop which I was setting up to replace our ailing PC, plus one of the tools that Jana really needs and the luggage we need for our NY trip in 2 weeks. And all our spare keys for the house, the car and the truck. My keys are chipped so that'll be a small fortune to replace them until such time as insurance reimburses us. Meantime, I get to miss my first day of work at the new job while I wait around for the insurance and locksmith to turn up. The fact that the police were here until 12:30 or so and I got no sleep is also a factor.
Oh and I got a rejection first thing this morning. And the burglar threw up the strawberries they swiped from our fridge all over the backyard so I got to clean that up too.
Not to mention no longer feeling safe in the house we've lived in for nearly 8 years now.
The week has to get better from here, right? :-(((

Well, the banking crap is attended to and the nice man from the locksmithing co. is even now putting on new and sturdier deadbolts and locks, including some additional ones that should make life more difficult for the next jerk. Next up, we tackle the car and truck. Stupid insurance co. hasn't called back yet so that's adding another layer of fun.
But there's you folks and there are cupcakes from the Franklin Bakery so life is probably still worth living. I really appreciate it. :-)
