Update on an Airplane

I was scheduled to fly home this Sunday, January 5th at 1pm, but my flight connected through Minneapolis, where the forecasted high on Sunday is -11. Delta won't fly pets as checked baggage if the high is lower than 10 degrees, so I had to call today to change my flight. After haggling with the airline and being told something different by every person I talked to, I finally have a flight connecting through Salt Lake City on Friday, January 10th (and for only $211 more dollars...dammit Delta). I will arrive back in Indianapolis at 10:15pm. I have been very fortunate to meet a few wonderful people through Darla and one of them has agreed to drive me to the airport, a favor for which I will be eternally grateful. My flight home wouldn't be possible without the help of my brother, my family, and the generosity of two of my very good friends. I am sad that I have to leave Oregon, that I won't get to see and do all the things I dreamt of when I moved out here, but I am grateful beyond words that in my time of need so many people have offered their kindness and help to get me home.
