What a week..burglary, surgery

~whew~

It all started with a call that our little farmhouse

had been broken into...

It was a week before we could get here

and what a mess to come home to

not by the burglars

but by the police fingerprinting

that black graphite stuff was everywhere

they didn't put down newspaper to catch it

as it fell to the carpeting

light carpeting

~tracked all through the house~

on the white cabinets

on the pine cabinets

the burglars were after

~cars~

not stuff

and since I hid the keys they didn't get them

and they didn't take too much of anything else

they didn't disturb much either

all cabinets and drawers were opened

but since we don't live here full time

there is nothing much to take

unless your an interior decorator

and love roosters

~however~

glass from the broken window was everywhere

and between that and the graphite

there was much clean up

before we could even get in the house

after a 10 hour drive

It is yucky having known that people were in

~your space~

people that don't belong here...

a feeling hard to describe

it was scary being here all by myself

those 2 nights the Hubs was in the hospital...

~the hospital~ 

was a worse experience

than it should have been..

a routine knee replacement surgery

but complications with

fever, high blood pressure and high heart rate

turned it into 3 days of scary things to deal with

and just seeing him in such pain

~was hard to take~

I found I forgot all about the burglary...

that was the small stuff in life we have to deal with

the big stuff was my

~big guy~

 thank goodness he is well and recovering

this was a way bigger deal than we had expected

and we are so grateful everything is ok

~and~

that we were reminded to make each day count

oh he's gonna hate me for this..

P.S.

thanks to the Hubs

~Brother Bill & Linda~

for taking care of

~  well everything~
