except that my wallet was stolen.
I discovered it was missing when I opened my purse to pay for the groceries I had just bought. I was able to call Pete and he came down to rescue me. After doing a thorough search of my car and our house, calling the doctor’s office I’d been to, we made the necessary calls to cancel the credit cards, debit card and checkbook. We notified those people who we had paid the day before to alert them of the possibility of a problem.
Two hours later we received a call that my wallet had been found, minus the cash, but intact with credit cards and checkbook.
I guess there has been a rash of these thefts at the market. Nevertheless, I consider myself lucky even though my long list of things to accomplish has been made considerably longer. Tomorrow or Thursday I need to go down to the Torrance Police Department to make crime report as an extra protection to prevent identity theft.
Still, I am lucky. I am happy and well. We have just been exceedingly busy. Not much time to blog with all that has been going on here. Everything is good stuff. Happy stuff! I am grateful. Mom is happy. :-)
Somehow the gifts will be wrapped, the house put back together, the food will be cooked and we will be ready to welcome our loved ones here on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. If things aren't perfect, people will understand. Everything is OK.
