early christmas present

so, i've been home for the past few days with some sort of stomach flu. i got up tuesday morning to go to work and couldn't keep anything down, so i took tuesday and wednesday off. no running and not enough energy to move about much had taken me right out of the christmas spirit.

i got up this morning, shaved off the beard that had started to form, grabbed an apple and headed out the door. 6am and the sky was still pretty dark, with heavy fog in the air. i hopped into my truck and in the dim light i noticed that the passenger seat was a little bit far forward. as my eyes grew accustomed to the dark, i realized that the dashboard wasn't where it should have been. it was ripped and pulled all the way against the stick shift. the stereo bay was empty, the amp was gone and the center console had been emptied out.

i sat there kind of numb for a couple minutes, not so much mad, but more bummed that i'd have to go through the hassle of having the dash repaired. having the stereo stolen isn't that big of a deal to me, i mean, it's only 'stuff', but why'd they have to go and destroy the entire dashboard just to get at it? sheesh, thanks for the early christmas present.

so, i'm back to work today, trying to stay focused and catch up on the work i missed the past couple days and trying to get back into the christmas spirit.
