So I called the police today. When I got home from work today to dark empty house I assumed that the Grandma and taken O and E out for food. Or picked up O from a play date. I was starving so I made some food. Then, for some reason, I decided to look at the back door that goes out to the garden. When this house was broken into two years ago they had a cross bar installed across that back door since it was the one broken into. When I peeked at the door tonight it not only did not have the cross bar on it, but it was also open. Minor panic attack. I stayed in the kitchen making my dinner, picking out the biggest knife to chop my salad with, keeping the glass bottle of balsamico next to me, and getting out my book to read, because I sure as heck was not leaving the kitchen. Every so often I would hear a noise and then I would make the cursory cough to inform all who wished to know that yes indeed I was there. Then I stared out the window where I could look to see if the kids were home and also have a reflection of the hallway. Geez louise am I ridiculous. After about 30 minutes of panicing I decided to wait two more minutes and call the police. Two minutes passed. I called the police. They were very polite - asked if anything had been stolen and I told them heck no I hadn't moved a muscle to make any observations except for the fact that the back door was open. They said they would send someone by to check it out. Two seconds later the kids get home. I quickly run to the door (in case anyone was going to jump me) open it safely and yell out to ask if they had left the back door open. Yep. E had opened it and forgot to close it. WHY would she open the back door when there is no reason to go outside when it is so cold and then forget to close it? To torment me of course. Thankfully the police called me back 2 minutes later to check if everything was still fine and I could report to them that yes indeed everything was fine and they needn't come by.
My Mom goes home today for the care clinic!!! Now who wants to volunteer to make sure that she doesn't do anything? ha! Gramma had round three of Chemo on Friday and I have yet to hear how it went. No news is good news, right?
Going to paint some pottery this week with friends. Going to file my German taxes this week and hopefully get a lot of money back. Going to get a massage once these snuffles go away. Got a blood test done last week and everything is good! Iron was a little lower than normal, but I expected that for numerous reasons.
Practiced the piano yesterday for a bit. Need to do that a little bit more. Went for a run on Saturday - my first run in forever. I am pathetically sore. Did 15 plus half pullups today ie I was standing on flat ground reaching up to the bar and pulled myself up without jumping. I'm pretty proud, seeing as I could only do half of one when I first started trying with the kids on the playground. Trying to boost this weak immune system of mine.
Miss my friends and family. Can't wait to get home and visit!
