hi karen_kay
i got to sleep late, but once i got to sleep it was ok. (aside from having stupid dreams about the ex, bugger!) tomorrow they are making me wake up early, and the next night i will be out drinking. so it's a few days of sub-optimal sleep for me, but i don't think it will be so poor as to be dysfunctional.
the people at work were very supportive and nice. (my coworker had a breakin the day before mine, we comisserated and told breakin stories, everybody has one here).
however, i have been repeatedly cautioned that very frequently thieves will revisit a place, since they know how to break in. i'm concerned because i want to replace my stereo on monday, and i just can't afford to run around buying stereos all the time!
oddly enough i am more ticked off and inconvenienced than anything. i am not concerned about my personal safety: i am confident that there would be no break-in if i was home, and that i'm not in any danger. this kind of thing is an opportunity crime, which i suspect was done by a local teenager or junkie that would be frightened of my presence and rather left unseen.
i also hate being paranoid. i start to think of people who have no love lost for me. i wonder if people are sadistic enough to track me down and make me angry on purpose. so now i am starting to wonder where my mortal enemies are lurking, and if it is a conspiracy. i should adjust my tin foil hat, this can't be real, it's just petty crime, but still, you never know ...
bah paranoia. hopefully i will be so busy for the next week or two i won't know what hit me, and by then i'm already over it. of course the danger of that is that i forget to move. hmm.
