A Memorial Aftermath

Welcome Back ALL (if your are even still around)

It was one heck of a Tuesday !

I get back from the cabin on Late Monday, and start unpacking the car shortly after midnight (Now Tuesday). First thing that happens is that somehow I have transported the HUGE A$$ wasp that was in the cabin with my Pillow. How it didn't fly around the car on the way home, I have no clue. Then not seeing it in the dark as I scooped up the pillow - it decided that it didn't like me and promptly stung me twice (the first time ineffectively) on the forearm ! Well if that ain't a beyatch !

The next day me & my sis take our good friends mom to dinner. She lives in the basement apartment of her son a few blocks away. When we come back from dinner barely 2 blocks away in the bustling heart of Mt Pleasant around 9:30, we encounter a half dozen cops who inform us that there was a break in... This must have been the stupidest Guy on EARTH !

1) 9pm in Mt Pleasant on Park Road? I mean there are a zillion people still walking around.
2) he first tried going to the side and breaking in a basement window, with the peoples next door basement window fully lit up and people there watching. They immediately called DC Police
3) He then proceeds to try to fit his fat A$$ through the said small window, and cant. Yeah he gets bloodied from the cut glass
4) he then goes to the back in plain sight of another neighbor (on the other side of the house) and breaks a pane on a glass door to get inside
5) he first scours through clothe for an 80 yr old woman - looks like he was going to take it (uhh why?) cause some of it was outside in the back yard - what a waste of time.
6) He then decides to get a suitcase (the only smart thing he did) and started to fill it with winter boots and MANY bottles of wine.
7) This DUMBA$$ Guy must have been a 250 lb weakling cause trying to haul it up the stairs a bottle brke and started to leak through the suitcase.
8) He then abandons the plan altogether and just walks out the front door as if owned the place where a cop was parked across the street, he tries running, but is cornered between another cop who the neighbor on the deck went to get from a block away.

Yeah that unfortunately was just the beginning for us. With no one else around, My sis & me stuck around (naturally - no questions about it) with our friends mom, we got to meet some neighbors and see Rover and Max the Police dogs sniff out the house. By the time the cops were done (as we couldn't go in the house until then) it was around midnight, and then did the process assessment finally start.

By the time the handymen came by to board up the window &door it was 1:30 and 2am by the time I get home.

All the time I felt it was still Monday from the Holiday weekend, Heck I ain't even unpacked yet, and I just realized that my laundry is still sitting in the washer..... Truly manic indeed!

So how was everyone else's Memorial Day?
