Mean People Suck
Today started out very well. I went for an incredibly awesome run with my two doggies into Manhattan. I ran through feet high piles of snow and slush. Many people gave me strange looks for running in my shorts through the snow with two wild-eyed doggies, but I pressed on. What a wonderful way to start the day!
When I returned home, I had to put Scope and Molly in what I call the “drunk tank.” I covered my couch with towels and gave them treats to eat while secretly waiting for them to dry off and clean themselves.
Later on today I walked to my car to go grocery shopping. I found my poor little Del Sol, with her driver side window broken out. Someone had broken into my car, apparently tried to steal my very cheap car stereo (but failed and ended up just breaking it), and rifled through my glove box. The funny(?) thing is that they stole nothing. Really, there was nothing to steal. Apparently, they weren’t interested in my cucumber-melon scented antibacterial lotion or my blue-tinted Elvis-style sunglasses. Lucky for me, I guess.
Under normal circumstances I might have gotten incredibly pissed off and yelled a bit. But I was just in such a good mood that it barely phased me. I took my car to a nearby shop and they tried to find a used piece of glass for it. After many attempts, we realized that I’d have to buy a brand new piece of glass. The total came out to around $400, and my car won’t be ready for 3-4 days. I will deal with it, but mean people definitely suck!

Welcome to Brooklyn!
sorry to hear abt the break-in. i know wat u mean– it’s the hassle of bringing ur car to the repairers and going for days without it :<
Kendra – I’m really sorry to hear about the break in. You know, with issues like this that challenge our optimism (I’m one of those blue-sky optimists haha), I want to ask: how do you keep the good attitude? At Ross, optimism has its fair share of challenges (from day one, people complaining about such a beautiful island to now, when real life finally comes and meets our med school “bubble”). It’s good to know there’s optimists who’ve made it all four years at Ross.
So sorry to hear that!! I hope you checked with your insurance!
