it's 1 a.m. and i have nuthin to say -


yet here i am. just for you. somethin will come to me. it's just that i can't sleep. and here i sit in a dim and silent -- well aside from the clicking of the keyboard it's silent, office. i really have been enjoying my office this last few days, btw. it looks really nice. it's clean, and organized, and comfy. and it's , for the most part-- mine. all mine. once in a while someone comes in to use the new computer, but that's alright. i hope it doesn't get screwed up. seems any time i have something nice that's 'mine', something happens to it. it breaks, or it get lost, or stolen. never fails. sometimes if i get really lucky? it's able to be fixed.. or maybe cheap enough-- or not too sentimental, that i can replace it. but 9 out of ten times? it's just damaged or lost and gone forever.

OH! that reminds me. weird how that works out eh?
do y'all remember a few months back that the news ran the thing on the robbery ring-- after our moving company robbed us? mainly of my jewelry? then i went out there and pilfered through all the stolen stuff? to see if any of it might be mine?
well, when i was there, some stuff looked familiar-- similar-- but i wasn't positive, and none of it was anything i was cryin over-- except one pair of gold hoop ear rings -- that may or may not be the ones my (dead) aunt got me many moons ago , when my dad was dying.
well, now, so much damn time has past, i can't remember everything i 'claimed' that 'might be mine-- except , like i said those ear rings. but yesterday, the mail man brought a certified letter in my name from the sheriffs office. yeh i know. i didn't feel real good about seein that. it could be any damn thing , right?
well, i finally got the nerve to open it, after runnin every scenario through my mind. and bein as prepared for the worst as i was gonna get.
guess what it was? yep-- a letter sayin that i had 7 days to make an appointment to claim my property, or it would be disposed of. well hell. 'my property' included not only jewelry, but also a TV. i didn't claim a TV. so WTH? did i? did i go senile between then and now-- or more senile should i say? hell if i know. i really don't remember claiming a tv on my police report-- or at the police station when i looked thru all that stuff.
that was such a surreal day. it really was. it was hard. so much of folks lives just laid out on tables. friggin asshats just went into these folks homes and helped their damn selves to whatever they wanted. it was literally sickening to see. and to touch. and to think that some of it was mine-- and not be positive.
now i go in next monday -- to claim this stuff-- and like i said-- the only thing that was actually worth a crap-- was the hoop ear rings-- and there really very common, how am i to know for sure if they are mine? if i don't claim em, they'll scrap em, if no one else does. i may as well get em right? obviously they look like mine. obviously the other stuff looks like mine - or else i wouldn't have 'claimed' it. and it aint like i claimed anything that wasn't mine or on my police report, or at least what i thought to be mine.
but again-- what about the tv? i'll know it if i see it and it IS mine. if it aint? they'll 'dispose ' of it if i don't take it. nah. i'm too honest to do somethin like that. i know i am. i'd feel so guilty i'd puke all the way home. maybe they'll donate it? not throw it away. ya think?

but anyhow. this is good. at least i'm gettin some of -- hopefully my stuff back. i really am hopin the ear rings are mine. the ones my aunt gave me. it hurt my heart when i saw them gone. it hurt my heart to see all of it gone. and it still does, it still comes up in conversation. of course , no one wants to hear me cry over spilled milk. so i try to not talk about it anymore. but like i said... that damn family curse, and schleprock luck, and ziggy thing i got goin on-- it's all just really not a good combination for one lil ole soul. ya know?

so-- i reckon i'll be havin a little good news for y'all next monday.
good news is always better than some of the other crap i spew around here eh?
yep, that's what i thought you'd say.

here's the news/police video from back then about the stolen goods -



so yeh, i guess that was september '09 ; after bein robbed in august '09 - on the 1st - by our movers. people we paid. trusted. fed. and still want to sue, beat up, throw rocks at ... or whatever. but will never see what's comin to them. all because the pawn shop camera 'was down ' the day they pawned a couple rings -- that i was at least fortunate enough to recover.

anyhow-- i guess that's enough for now-- for havin nuthin to say huh?

i am beyond tired, and i have ta pee. but of course- it's one-a- those nights that i am unable to sleep. so perhaps i shall sleep blog a little. i wonder whos page will get the most incoherent of the sleep babble?

whoever it is-- feel special, i don't do this as often as i used to :))

goo'nite folks
and have a pleasant tomorrow :))

Hello Soul!
Just popped over to say thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my Bode Miller post. I love the craziness of your blog! Captain Insano is terrific!

I do hope you get the earrings back...and what in the world were those idiots thinking when they took stuff like boy scout badges and old rusty pins?! Well, obviously, they weren't thinking...just hauling...mindless thieves...just STUFF to them...never caring about the memories, the lives they impact.

I like your style. Great post here, for someone who had nothing to write about at 1am. And watch out...carrying dressers down staircases is NEVER a good idea!

SOUL said...

welcome to my craziness-- i mean my blog!
i enjoyed yours too. :))
yeh, i don't think i'll be haulin furniture again anytime soon -- that was a really bad idea. i just want things done like yesterday , sometimes. and you see what happens when i get like that. not a good outcome. ever.

anyhow-- i reckon i should pop back over and see what you've been up to lately. i been sort of recovering the last few days. it's gettin a little better.
ouchin and oochin my way along i spose.

happy rest of the week to ya :))

yes, i am still up-- 341 am now-- not even worth the bother to go to bed now-- for 2 1/2 hours.. nah -- just enough to piss me off .
i reckon i'll take the kid to school and sleep all day.
i hate it when i do that.

what are you doin up so late?
go to bed :))

thanks for stoppin by

At our department, we would auction off unclaimed property. The money then went into the township general fund to purchase items for the police department. Not sure what other departments do....but I'm sure they don't just throw it away. Not the good stuff anyway. Looking at that video clip just got me all ticked off again. God, how I HATE thieves!!! They are not even human... to just help themselves to other people's memories. I curse them all.
Hope you get your days and nights back on schedule.

Congrats on getting your office in order. Now about mine . . . never mind. I don't want to think about it.

Glad to hear that you may be able to get some of your things back.

Another gray, depressing day here. Hope there's sunshine in your corner of the world.

Take care, LBF

LOL, you sounded pretty coherent on my blog in the wee hours! Yes, yes, go claim your jewelry. How ruthless of the theives to steal folks keepsakes. I will never understand such mentality.

Donna said...

SO glad you'll be getting some if not all your things back! Hopefully!!
You type pretty Good for a sleepwalker!!Haha

Hello! I do love your blog. Your office sounds so nice! I love a freshly cleaned room, especially in that moment before it dirties again. Ahh:) I won't scold you too but I do hope the back feels better. And that you collect the earrings and whatever else you can save from the dumpster. It will be like saving a pet...only not.

Maybe when you see your stuff without all the stress surrounding the theft it'll look more familiar.

I shoulda come in here to hang out with you last night, it was a crappy night for sleepin' for me too.
