Charlotte's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

That would be Monday, and it actually only started badly. When I got to my car to leave for work, I had the delightful surprise of a broken side window and a bunch of missing stuff. I'm still steamed.

Did you know it costs $181 to put a new window in a Breeze? Geez.

I filed a police report, which one can easily do online these days. I remember years ago when my purse was stolen out of my car in front of the nursery school, a couple of officers actually came to the house to take my report. Times have certainly changed.

I also sent a letter to all the pawn shops in town with a copy of my police report and descriptions and pictures (where possible) of everything I could think of (of any value) that was missing. At least this way, I don't feel quite so powerless. Maybe I'll get something back. Maybe. Hopefully.

What I feel most badly about is I had some special jewelry in a bag (along with some clothes) in the car. I was bringing it from one place to the other, left it in the front seat because I had too much too carry, and meant to go right back out for it. Got distracted by something and forgot. Durn! Double Durn! And it's a royal pain to have lost my planner, too.

On the bright side, somebody else lost their car from that parking lot the very same night. Could have been way worse.

A little on the warm side...

Actually, today is much cooler than a few days ago. I think we topped out around 108, and today's supposed to be somewhere in the 90s. I just washed the dog and the car, though, and I'm personally as hot as I've been all week. Nothing like working out in the sun to break a sweat! I doubt if it's even up to 80 yet.

I've been going through old school photos -- some of my high school friends and I have been trying to figure out who everybody is in the class photos. Here's a cute one of me (fourth grade):
