Down for a couple of days

It was never going to be a good time for us to have to pick up and leave. I guess things could be a lot worse. We are four people all of whom are employed and responsible and we have pretty good references from our current agent. We have applied for one place and inspected another today, and there are further inspections on the weekend and next week. There is still plenty of time and plenty of opportunity for things to go right.
I did get to the gym today, running there in the rain, doing some kettlebell swings and some toes to bar, and a whole bunch of rowing (over 8km and 500 calories) before running home in a driving rain. As I ran up our street the rain was at it's most intense, and I stopped, soaked through to the skin, to do pushups. I did more on our front lawn when I found out I was locked out of the house after leaving my keys inside. I did get back in but for a few moments, standing on my front lawn in short and singlet in a driving rain, completely soaked and completely alone, I felt just fine.
I deal with stress and unhappiness in odd ways.
