Closure - Another rant on my burglary

[Thistle]

what trek said! i think we expect ourselves to be super resilient and bounce back from these things quickly.... but it takes time. And little things like finding another thing missing will bring it all up again.

So sorry you had to go through this. I truly wish the sucky people in the world would just bother each other instead of the rest of us

It has been several years since our last breakin, yet there are times I get disappointed that I no longer have something I treasured. I am trying to not get "attached" to "things", but you know, there are "things" that were given to you, that you won, that were part of your "history" that you can't forget. To give them away, to sell them, that's one thing, but to have them "stolen" is something entirely different. The intrusion on one's life...that is something that isn't easily forgotten and will take time....

I think I just got a tiny taste of what you're going through - thank goodness no one broke into our home. However, apparently someone got our credit card number (somehow) and actually made cards. They then used them for loads of computer purchases, etc. So...now for all of the changing online access, making sure they didn't get more personal information, etc.

No where near what you're going through, but spooky nevertheless.....

I said that? I forgot I said that

But yes memory is an incredible thing, and what brings back happy memories and has meaning. V, I hope you journal these things as well.

Thistle, yes wouldn't it be great if sucky people would burgle each other? whole thing makes me question karma.

My heart breaks for you! I've had to deal with the same thing you are, and it's really hard. There are days and moments where it all comes flooding back. Time will help to fade the pain, but a part of the violation will always be there. Give yourself a break. Think of it as overcoming an injury. Healing takes time.
And know that we are all here to give you a big ol cyber hug whenever you need one!! ((((huggy))))))
Take care!
hugs.

We spent the weekend doing some shopping and some construction.

I had my first engagement ring repaired. It's the ring Thom gave me when I was a junior in high school. I broke the band weight lifting probably 17 years ago and never got around to fixing it. It's one of those things that would have been really upsetting to lose. But now it's on my hand again.

While at the jewelry store I got two new pairs of earrings. One to replace the stolen ones and the other set...'cause I liked 'em.

We have three major household projects to do as a result of the burglaries. We made really good progress on one this weekend. Absolutely no riding...Maybe next weekend.

The weekend after next I have my first brevet. I've hardly ridden since we got back from Hawaii. But I did a hard 200K there, so the one here shouldn't be too bad. I just hope it warms up some.

Life goes on. Thanks for all the kind thoughts.
