The Drama

First off, a shout out to all the Orthodoxxx peeps who celebrated Easter this past weekend... Now , the drama.

The other day, the Boyf and I decided that we were going to have a BBQ at his place. So, I headed over to his place at about 7:30. However, when the cab turned the corner onto his street, I was greeted by about 7 cop cars and was told that his street was on "lockdown" and I simultaneously received a text message from him that simply read "911". I couldn't go to his place and he was ordered to stay in his house. Why, you ask? BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOME INVASION HAPPENING IN THE HOUSE NEXT TO HIS. He could hear it. It could have been my baby getting the beats!

With my dinner plans put on hold, I went to a pub nearby and waited for the violence next door to stop. No less than 5 ETF (Emergency Task Force, aka SWAT Team) cars flew by, sirens wailing and all. After about an hour and a half, I was able to go to his place and we continued with our BBQ plans. The Boyf's area is by no stretch a "bad" part of town, but I am glad that he found a place to move into for May 1st (this was planned for before the dramatic events). Oh... the neighbour's were slapped around, but are fine. I have to say, though, they are a very weird couple and I'm kind of not surprised that something like this happened to them... in fact, I forbade the Boyf from looking in their direction months ago as I thought they were mental.

To add to the drama, my uncle passed away on Saturday, meaning that the week will be chock-a-block with wailing Greek ladies. Death is seriously not fun and has to stop making an annual appearance in my family.

Hope y'all are well and healthy and happy.
