a-mugging we will go, a-mugging we will go...
last night, at 7:45 p.m. (broad daylight mind you), i done got mugged walking into my apartment complex. nothing like a little "Quit screaming bitch or I'll shoot you" to finish off a 10.5 hour work day.
aaaaaand, since i had been staying in SF over the weekend, i had everything with me. EVERYthing. glasses. contacts. business clothes. casual clothes. wallet. books. journal. cell phone. every toiletry known to woman. $50 bottle of champagne. framed original artwork by a good friend. the last i saw of it all, it was being thrown into the side door of a slow-moving chevy van, headed toward 580 and points beyond.
when i sat down and totaled it all up, we're talking $2500 worth of stuff. an eye-opening exercise in letting go of material attachments, thank you oh Universe.
i'm phone-free for a few days, and i'll need all y'alls digits again of course.
am attempting to observe my reactions to this, rather than get caught up in them. currently i'm past "shaken" and well into "fucking pissed off" with occasional waves of "cold fear" still sweeping through.
anyone know of any kick-ass apartments in alameda?
