Home and one Good Decision

So good to be home. I made one really good decision yesterday and that was to get on an earlier flight back home from Orlando. I hesitated because I work with some of the loveliest people and because I travel so much on my own, I wouldn't have minded a nice little travel adventure with them.



But the promise of bed before midnight was a little too strong to resist and I jumped on a direct flight (first class!) that got me home and in bed long before midnight.



There were a few surprises before and after curling up into bed.



First surprise: I stopped at Target to grab a seat cover for the new car (I'm going to try to contain Huey hair). I went straight to the aisle, saw the item I needed was sold out, and walked straight back out. Might be the first time I not only left Target without anything I had not walked into the store to buy, but I actually didn't buy anything at all.



Second surprise: My brother John and his wife, Dash, surprised everyone and arrived in Minneapolis just a few hours before me. It was so great to walk into my sister's house and see them sitting there as if out of nowhere.



Third surprise: This is the surprise that made me feel really good about taking an earlier flight. My colleagues were stuck on the ground at Orlando while the airlines dealt with fuel issues airport-wide. They were on the ground so long they missed the connecting flight in Atlanta and had to stay the night. If I had stuck around it would have been a true travel adventure and probably not one I'd care for with or without good company.



I feel like I make a thousand small decisions in a day and rarely get confirmation that I'm on the right track. Despite feeling just terrible for the experience my colleagues must have had it was kind of nice to feel like I got one decision right.



So good to be home.
