Almost Halloween!! Can't believe it! On my way to work this morning I was admiring all the colors and the glistening river as I crossed the bridge to get to St. Paul. Leaves swirling around; people out running and all bundled up too. The frost on my windows and having to wait for the car to warm up before I headed out to work.
This weekend I had my car broken into in the garage in my apartment building. I was taking my daughter to work on Friday night and when we walked out of the elevator to the garage, we interrupted 5 boys that were going through cars. I asked what they were doing and one said he was getting something out of his dad's car. I told them it looked more like they were up to no good and trying to go through cars. They were scattering and running by then. I didn't notice they had stolen my garage door opener until I pulled out and was looking for it to open the garage door. Damn thing is going to cost me $100 to replace it now. I called the management office and reported it on their voice mail, called the emergency number for the building and also the police as well. The management office reviewed the security tapes yesterday and will send it to the police to include with my incident report. Those kids came back later in the night and did some vandalizing and stole some bikes that were in the garage and I don't know what all they were up to but they caused trouble. I had to park outside in the parking lot because of not having the garage door opener. I actually had to start wearing a sweatshirt since I wasn't able to just get in the car and head out.
I'm thinking of putting together some photo albums for my family for Christmas. I have tons of pictures of when the kids were young and I want to share them. I'm hoping they will like them. I plan to write some notes/poetry/stories to include with the albums for each person that will receive them. Money is tight and I'm trying to think of what I can give to them that would be meaningful, you know, instead of moolah although that would be appreciated too! : )
Anyway, I have lots of ideas for it - which means I better get started now instead of just thinking about it.
Doing pretty good considering everything that has happened in my life. Must be the age factor!!
