Wiped Out

Ever feel that way?

The last time I posted on my blog I was just oh so confident that the next time I got on here would be to post pictures of my new place all put together. Well, life threw a few curve balls into the mix and my progress at home has come to a screeching halt.

The first lovely bit of news is that our apartment was broken into one evening while we were not at home. Our TV, laptop, ipod, cell phones, purse (ya know, all the good stuff) were taken. My initial reaction was really just one of disbelief. Seriously? In the last 18 months we have now been through identity theft, our car being broken into, and now our home. We are cautious people who try to follow all the rules and do the right things to stay safe. I just could hardly believe it had happened. Oh well. Life certainly goes on and stuff is just stuff. I think I am mostly bothered by the thought of it potentially being one of our new neighbors (which is what I am most suspicious of).

Anyway, dealing with all the reports, claims, repairs, and replacing that came with the robbery took most of my motivation away from finishing up the new place. THEN, just when I get it back and start decorating for the holidays and what not, I get sick... UGH! First a nasty little cold, then food poisoning. And now, I'm just feeling wiped out.

SO

Don't give up on me yet... just give me a few more days. And if nothing else goes wrong, maybe, just maybe, I can get the new place finished.
