Back in TX

I made in back to Texas safe and sound. My Dad was nice enough to take me up the airport at some ridiculously early hour and then Ellie and I were left with a choice to make. Southwest, as is typical of them, overbooked their flight to San Antonio. They were offering to guarantee a flight on the next outgoing flight, give a voucher the original ticket, AND add an additional $300 to that voucher. I REALLY wanted to take the deal. It was pretty amazing right?! But, given that the next outgoing flight wasn't for another 5 hours, I just couldn't pull myself to make Ellie wait in an airport for that long. So, cest le vie.

Our flight was a tad bit late, but that's okay. It gave Sarah, whom I super grateful to for more than just picking us up, a chance to pick up her son from pre-K and then back to us. After that I had the opportunity to check out the place that I'm hoping we're able to rent. I got the paperwork ready to fill out and now I just have to go up the folks running the house, and hopefully negotiate a lower price. I'm really excited about the prospect of this house. Sarah actually showed me a house, about two blocks away from the prospective house that's running for over $100 less! I'm totally going to use that as leverage for negotiating the price.

I also just started working out again, and am quite proud at how long I was able to run today. It felt really good to be back in the gym. What else? Oh, I'm working on my knitting still. I'm working on an "open star" pattern, that's eventually going to be a dishcloth. Silly, I know, but its a start!
