My family and I had a great day and just before they all left - my oldest son wanted to get some car stuff I had out of my locker so we grabbed the keys and went down while the others started packing their 'loot'.
Girls - EVERYTHING WAS GONE!!! There was so much of my stuff down there it came right up to the door. I had my summer clothing, dishes, all my precious Christmas decorations I've collected for years with my late husband, my Christmas tree (I didn't put mine up this year!) my new luggage I had for my vacation - that had MY NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER still on the tags from the trip and on box of antiques I had put away to pass on to my grandchildren. Most of the stuff is material stuff and while its upsetting I do't really care - well I do - but you understand. Its the antiques I was keeping down there - irreplaceable - from Northern Ireland from my son's great grandmother that I was giving to my grandkids. I had a combination lock on this locker and I've had this locker since I was in this building for 5 years.
My son and I immediately went to the superintendant but he can't do anything until Monday when the head office opens and he's new so he hasn't a clue anyway. He suggested I call the police - but they can't do anything - I haven't a clue when this was done - and its not like there are fingerprints on the wooden lockers. And the sad thing is that like many others - I'm a widow who doesn't make much money - so I don't have insurance. I just can't afford it. Now the only thng I own is what is in these 4 walls.
I just want to cry and throw things but I can't let this get to me. I've written an email to the head office and sent that so they'll have it first thing Monday demanding to know who the hell got permission to remove my belongings without notifying me - particularly since my luggage HAD MY NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER on them.
So I'm here venting and hope you don't mind. I had such a great day and don't want this to ruin my good memories.
Tomorrow I'm going out with my friend who drives me for groceries and I'm going to 'treat' myself to a MP3 player - I was going to do that anyway and then I thought - what a waste of money. But now I just don't care - I'm getting it.
I desperately need a hug! My siggy was put here this morning but it sure seems to fit ...lol

Have I told you about my friend in California whose home and 40 years of "stuff" burned to the ground while they watched it on TV??
They were on vacation and happened to catch it on the news ...
You are doing very well with your "realistically" thinking ..... Goood job!!
Thanks Cin - can I borrow your halo???? lol

Either I'm dense or I missed something...So let me get this straight....Someone broke into you storage, took all your things and now someone else is using your storage unit..right?
Being "realistic" sure can't be easy but a lot of what you said makes sense...just hard to do...Losing sleep over it won't change anything....will just make you sick and it's not worth it....
Take care and glad you'll be getting that much needed shot soon....
BTW I don't enjoy seeing your Spring ticker;-)
