So I was trying to think of a title that didnt sound lame or funny about being robbed. I guess I will think more about it when I am done writing. This hopefully helps me work through being utterly violated last night. I would like to move on sooner rather than later.
Jason and I have been trying to work out together lately. I always work out but he has recently tried to seriously get into it. Before he had done it here and there with me if I offered to change my schedule. I love working out during the day, he doesnt like to get up that early he prefers to work out at night after work.
Recently he came to me about all of this conception stuff with his research on what he could do. Reduce his stress (which is hard because he is a small business owner) and working out were two of them. Working out will also help with the stress. So I made changes in my life to work towards this goal to, I changed my workout times.
A few nights ago we headed to our workout room and one of the two treadmills was being used. So obviously we both couldn't run. We went back upstairs and thought about coming back later. Jason said why dont we go down by the lake like we have before, so we did. We drove. We found great street parking! Normally we would parking in a garage and pay about 12 or 13 dollars for an hour. So this street parking which cost half of that was awesome! Everything went great! We had a blast. Neither of us used our headphones. We decided to talk if we felt like it while running. It was like a running date night.
Tuesday night we went to a White Sox game so we didnt go running.
Yesterday during the day, chipper happy me, emailed Jason and asked if he wanted to go running again tonight! He said yes, so our future was set in stone. We eagerly went on this run. We talked about how great it was. How we liked the new route we picked. We went along the lake toward the Field Museum. We went around it, the curve towards the planetarium etc. It was a beautiful night. We talked about going on Sat and Sun and tonight even. How we both really loved this. It is harder running outside in that wind and I said give us a couple weeks and it will be easy!
We were only gone for about 45 minutes. On our way back, just before we saw it, I can barely remember what we were talking about. I know a little before it we were talking about things with his business. I remember seeing it and being really confused. REALLY confused. I feel like when it hit me that I ran over and I think I said "oh no" I know at one point I stuck my whole upper body into the window. I felt some glass brush my shoulder. I really wasn't too careful.
The first thing that hit my mind was "oh no oh no my phone! MY PHONE! My whole life is on there. I have to change all of my passwords. He could be in my email right now. What is he messing up. What if he ruins something at work???" I forgot that Jason's wallet was in there. I didn't even notice he took our GPS until Jason said "They got the f-ing GPS too" It was really blurry for a while there for me. I kind of cried but tears did not come easily. It was a weird cry. I felt really helpless. I had no way of getting help. Jason had the only phone. I just stood there like a dummy, helpless. I couldnt do a damn thing! Jason had 140.00 in cash in his wallet from the game the night before. We did not spend much there but we had taken cash out. He had all of his business and personal credit/debit cards in there. His drivers license as well. They ended up racking up about $1000 in fraudulent charges in less than an hour.
The cops were not helpful. The lady on the phone laughed at me when I asked if we should wait there for them to come and do a report. She said no. Since our cards were stolen go home, cancel them. Call the police dept back and file a report over the phone. Our insurance company was more helpful. That lady apologized FOR the police being so terrible. But that is what it is. Nothing I can do about them not coming. Oh well. We were both safe and at least it didnt happen at gun point. At least they waited until we were gone. I am convinced they were watching us. They knew exactly where to go.
I was really upset that they had access to a lot of my deep and personal thoughts and feelings. I communicate a lot through text with people. I am terrible at deleting these texts. So there is about 10 months of conversations save on there. My mom and Jason say that chances are they are not sitting around reading them. They want to erase it all and sell the phone. I dont know. It still bothers me. It bothers me that they had access to photos of my niece Chloe, my cousin Gavin, my cousin Samantha, my cousin Sydney. They are not allowed to know what those beautiful children look like! I had over 1000 photos on there. I dont want this person knowing what any of them look like. That really bothers me. They are not worthy of knowing even one detail about these wonderful children!
One thing that REALLY bothers me, when I get past the material things. The above is what it is. I will likely never see this person. So if they did take the time to read through my life then they did and oh well. Nothing I can do about it. Every material thing will be replaced. We will get it all back, that is what insurance is for. We have never used our insurance before lol This is the first time. So what really bothers me is the fact that we were LOVING out running date nights. We have such fun together. Jason and I are honestly best friends. I am not exaggerating because of this tragedy. I promise you that we do mostly everything together. Really everything except for my coffee dates with my best friend Jen lol We LOVE spending time together. So these runs were especially fun. We were getting a work out, staying healthy, and working together towards making our baby odds higher! I couldnt wait for this weekend to go in the morning. So he or she stole this from us. We live close enough to walk, it is reasonable. But I doubt Jason will want to now. It will always be in the back of our minds, this danger, the paranoia of what if someone mugs us this time? So they took that from us, something no insurance company can replace. We will go back to trying to find time to use the fitness center in our building. It is safe, we wont be robbed. But I am going to miss these running times together. I really am. I am trying to convince Jason to keep doing it, but I wont push him. We will each deal with this in our own ways. I write. He plans.
Anyway I cannot help but think of the lyrics from the miranda lambert song off of her new cd...if I had my phone I would be listening to it all day...
My neighbor’s car got stole last night right out of his driveway
We heard the dog ‘a barking, we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm wondering if it’s time
Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
anyway my title is kind of lame...but....writing this helped and so I dont mind being a little lame now haha
