Can't believe this

So I had a lot of thing that I wanted to accomplish today. I did exercise and take a shower so that's nice, but since then I have been dealing with the fallout of the events of the morning. Adam called me early, around 8:30am and told me his car had been broken into while he was at the gym and everything was stolen. Ok not everything. It was mainly his work bag with apparently all his life information...ss card, personal checks, house keys, work checks, portable hard drive, etc. Pretty much his life except his wallet. They didn't take his CD's but did manage to take his hideously ugly sunglasses so it seems something good came of it...trying to find humor in this.

UGH!!! Not the news I wanted to hear at 8 this morning or any time for that matter. So instead of getting anything done, my house is still a disaster from the weekend, I have been calling locksmiths, looking into ss fraud, and trying to figure out ways to cover ourselves for what could potentially happen. I have heard of horror stories concerning identity theft. In fact this just happened a few months ago to someone I knew and under her name someone stole a vehicle from a dealer. I can't believe I am dealing with this now.

All and all I am doing great considering. I mean really I am not trying to complain just merely stating the facts of my day. I know it could be much worse...at least no one is hurt and it's really been Adam who is doing most of the leg work. Going to the bank and changing all our accounts, which apparently takes 7-10 days. So pretty much I am out convenient money for that long. Too bad I needed to go to the grocery store today. Double UGH!

So the best part...like I said I had a locksmith come change my locks. I didn't think about it until he was almost done that he would want to be paid immediately. I thought for sure an invoice would be ok. Apparently it wasn't and he wanted collateral of $70 in order to leave. I understand his position. He doesn't know me and doesn't know that I am a woman of my word, but give me a break please. So the only thing I could think of was he could wait for me to go to the bank and get some cash. He said it would be best to follow me and wait. So that's what I did. I wasn't happy about it. It felt a like a violation on so many levels, but I had nothing else I could do.

But the day is still good. Why? Because I had a 4 yr old girl tell me I looked good today. I need to have this friend of Tess' over more often. It made my day.

I am changing my blog address.

I have wanted to for some time to get my name off my URL but just never got around to it. Now that this whole thing has happened it just feels like time. So I know it is a big pain to everyone, changing your links and what not, but I will be changing my URL to afmwords.blogspot.com on Wednesday.

Again sorry for the inconvenience.
