Yesterday was exhausting, painful, sweaty and strenuous, but it all went surprisingly well. Everyone pulled together. My parents were marvelous, my dad only cried a little, they helped me and Gina load the van up and traffic was good. The gang showed up and pitched in to help us get most of the stuff (and ALL of the really big stuff) across the street and into the new apartment. Everyone went above and beyond the call of duty. They are my heroes.

After, we had a big family dinner around the table: me, Gina, Cheryl, Kitana, Erin, Steph P, and Mike. (Steph M had to leave early because she was sick.) "We" had Magnolia cupcakes and ice cream to celebrate Kitana's birthday. Cheryl helped me put together my bed. Spike already has his favourite place in the new apartment. (It's been named; Penthouse 54: Like Studio 54, but with more coke*!)

The most exciting thing happened yesterday. One of my boxes tumbled open in the van, spilling its contents. It happened to be a box that I've had in my room for ages and haven't opened for all of a year; it contains all of my Kids in the Hall memorobilia from over the past decade. Anyway, when it opened, you know what popped out?

A CD book. THE CD book. THE CD book containing all of my favourite CDs that I had lost over a year ago. Hundreds of dollars worth of CDs that I have been avoiding thinking about because the losing was so painful. My CDs are back. My CD collection is back. The angels sing!

*A joke. We do drink a lot of Diet Coke, but none of us do coke. It is called Penthouse 54 though, because the track lighting gives it a vaguely 70's feel.
