…I finally got back into my apartment and took a much needed shower.

………..

Yes, when you’ve been flying for four hours and you arrive at your doorstep with two big ass bags (just as it begins to snow) only to realize your house keys are missing from your key chain, you can really only do one thing….laugh.

When you sleep on a friend’s couch that night, wake up the next morning (once again snowing) and go to your landlord’s building only to find out two things: he’s out of town for the next few days, and you’re completely fucked.  Well, there’s really only one thing you can do then too…laugh.

When your wife overnights the keys but tells you UPS doesn’t deliver on Sundays, so you’ll have to wait till Monday to get in…..there’s really only one thing….oh hell, you get the point…..

When you show up at Rockwood at 1AM, and lots of people are still hanging around and you completely DOMINATE you feel a little bit better!  But when you spend two and a half hours at Atomic Wings the following day watching football, cause you have nowhere else to go….you feel a bit worse…but kind of awesome at the same time.

………..

Yes, it was a long weekend sleeping on the beds and couches of friends, but I must say, it was all worth it when I climbed up the three flights of stairs today, put the key in the door, and felt the deadbolt unlock.  I have not felt such joy in a long while. 

What I’ve really realized is how lucky and blessed I am to have so many good friends in this city.  Thank you so much to all of you helped and offered help.  I’ve got an aerobed if you ever need it!
