The Lord giveth... the Lord taketh away...

So imagine my excitement when I get my first bonus check last week... AT LAST I get to purchase the GPS I've been desiring for over a year. Ever since I moved to this crazy town and had no idea where I was going. So of course I rise early on Black Friday, venture out with all the other crazy's and stand in a line for an hour to the GPS of my dreams. And now a distant dream it is. After 4 days in my beloved possession, someone felt like they shouldn't have to work for the item, broke in my car (that was in my driveway) and stole it. FOUR DAYS I had this long awaited item. I'm sure there is a lesson here somewhere, but right now I'm too ticked to soak in the lesson. 

Of course I cried all the way to work yesterday morning. I'm sure the dry cleaning lady thought I was completely off my rocker as my face was still tear soaked and I'm passing off my clothes to her. I was still crying when I arrived at work. After about 2 hours at work I'm able to focus a little more about putting things in to perspective. My job is to save people's homes. To keep them in their homes. And I'm distraught over my 4 day old stolen GPS. Granted, the GPS represented a month long battle of late nights and difficult, heartbreaking conversations for my bonus check. 

Jeff promises that if his promotion ever comes through I can get another one. We'll see. I just had to spend $228 to repair my beloved appendage - my digital camera!!! So I don't know have the heart to spend another $200 any time soon.
