Stupid Hoodlums

I should recap the last few months of my life, to give everyone the big picture.

January was a great month. My Steelers won the Superbowl, I got to meet the greatest man ever (and he fell hook, line, and sinker), hockey was still on TV.

February was okay. My car was totaled by a hit and run driver outside of Ben's apartment on February 7th. On Valentine's Day, I got a new car. A really cool new car.

March was relatively uneventful, but I prefer it that way.

April... well April kinda sucks. The first part of April I moved into a new place in Soulard, only to find out two days later that the building I am staying in is being sold. I was told I had to be out by the 27th, which is next Monday. I found out that I had a place about a week and a half ago, about a minute or so from Ben's, which is nice. Everyone came home for Easter last weekend, and that was fun. The Friday before Easter, when I left work, I officially started vacation, as Ben and I had a planned trip to Chicago. We were to leave Wednesday afternoon and come home Sunday. Monday morning, my grandma passed away, which pushed my vacation off until Friday and made what I thought was to be a pretty relaxed week into a really crazy week. I came back to work yesterday (Tuesday), and this week is pretty busy within itself. I've been trying to pack everything I own because I move AGAIN tomorrow (into my new place). To make things even better, this morning when I awoke, I found that some hoodlums has busted my driver's side window in my car and stole my CDs.

With that said:
Things I am thankful for:
First, and obviously most importantly, Benjamin. If not for him, I would NOT be sane right now. Or, at least, I wouldn't be holding onto whatever sanity I still have left.
Second, caffeine. I haven't had a great night's sleep in a while now. I'm tired.
Third, a really good Blues game last night. I love you, my Saint Louis Blues. Thanks for a great season!
Fourth, my snuggly cats. They sense when things are wrong, and they've been extra lovey lately.
Fifth, my evening shift friends at work. The random things we talk about keep a smile on my face.
Sixth, Duets. No explanation needed.
Seventh, music.

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there are more things, but my brain is fried.
