Well what a fun weekend that was. After all the cleaning up was done I was faced with a mass of paperwork and forms to fill in for the insurance. I don’t know what is worse really actually being broken into or the amount of paperwork you need to complete in order to get a replacement item.

Then of course on top of all that is starting all over again, I have to rebuild my ITunes, my Mac. There was a bit of good news though, I had managed to backup all my music, writing and photos up until the end of March so all I have really lost is the early draft of my new screenplay “Departure”, this is still fresh in my mind so I will begin to write this again today. The two things I am missing the most are my cash card and my passport, replacements are on the way but will just be a very inconvenient week until they arrive.

Overall when I think of the person who broke into my apartment I have a lot of sympathy for them, they have stolen a passport that has almost expired, a cash card that they cannot use, A Mac that is securely locked so that cannot be used and a PS3 that was already broken. The effort it must have taken to steal and sell that is equal to the effort I had filling in the paperwork this weekend.

I am sure deep down that we both could not have done with all this hassle this weekend. If the reason behind this break-in was to fuel a drug habit then I really hope that they seek the help they so obviously need.
