Hello 2:30am!

The wee hours of the morning are not the time I should be awake anymore. I now have grown up working hours and it is best if I am sleeping until the bigger morning hours. That is not the case this morning, however, so we'll just accept that.

In more exciting (but even less good) news, my wallet was stolen yesterday morning. I thought it was stolen in the afternoon and am still amazed at the time frame in which it was snatched. I have my smartrip (metro) card in my wallet so it disappeared between the metro exit and work, which is one corner, an escalator and crosswalk distance. I had to wait at the crosswalk for 30 sec so, altogether, the whole thing probably took 3 minutes, if that. There is the possibility that I dropped it instead of replacing it in my purse. Whoever took it, or found it, didn't waste too much time in using it. Not big purchases, only those that don't require signing. Convenience versus security.

The cards are now canceled, I've a few more things to handle tomorrow morning (replacing my ID, canceling my smartrip card, filing a police report) but, as far as that goes, I'm set. I've emergency money, thankfully, so I can buy groceries, as I can't charge anything or get cash from the bank, and the chunk of change I did lose will curtail my pitiful social life as well.

The worst part, however, was that I discovered the lose right before buying ice cream. No ice cream for Katie! :(
