how many cups of tea is reasonable in one morning?

Okay, and in today's exciting update, the Scene of Crime officer has just been and gone. He was very thorough, fingerprinting any surface that might have been touched and taking a footprint off the door panel that was kicked in.

Does it say anything about my view toward modern policing and crime levels that I feel mildly surprised about them actually trying to solve the crime? I don't know why I expected to be simply brushed aside as one of those unfortunate, unsolvable things.

The man I spoke to about insurance was lovely, ever so sympathetic and helpful, arranged to have the money transferred to my bank account by the end of the day and told me to phone back if I thought of anything else they could help me with. I was dead impressed by him.

Managed a few hours of sleep last night, which was good. Phoned Boss this morning to explain about not going into work, and she was all sympathy and told me to stay home tomorrow as well if I need to. Me sounding all wobbly on the phone probably contributed to that - I'm okay as long as I'm doing other things, but then if I have to speak to anyone I start wobbling again. I hope that wears off soon.

I'll probably have to go in tomorrow anyway. It is the monthly Drop-In for volunteers, so a staff member really ought to be there. Plus it will be the first day back for my learning disabled Wednesday volunteer, and I need to be there for her.

Am now just waiting for landlord to get his lads around to fix the door properly so I can clean up.

Everyone has been lovely. Huge hugs and kisses to everyone on my friends list for being so sweet and supportive.

Okay. First hurdle overcome - tonight I left my flat all on its own for a few hours while I went to my mum's for tea and sympathy. She made fish and chips especially for me. My Nan was there, too - ostensibly because she'd been to the dentist and popped in afterward, but I suspect my little drama contributed to the decision to visit.

So, I went there and was okay, and came home again and the flat was still intact, so that was good. Everyone came back with me and made no pretense about the fact that they'd come to see the mess rather than to make sure I was okay. *G* Also, Nan had never actually seen my flat before. Kind of wish she could see it for the first time in better condition, mind.

Am now really sleepy.

Tomorrow I'll be back in work, although probably not for the whole day. Boss told me to see how I felt tomorrow, and how I feel is that I need to go in for the Open Day and for my learning disabled volunteer Ros, but will go home early. I'm going round to Molly's tomorrow night but don't want to go straight there and not check everything's okay at home first.

Yes, I'm now paranoid. I figure there's worse things to be. Have now got an old sensor-type alarm from the parents to be going on with, and will invest in a newer, remote controlled one at first opportunity. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that.

Thanks to everyone, again, for their support. *hugs*
