After quite a bit of orienting to FELIX, I located the request board for roommates in Santa Barbara.
I was the first poster on Friday.
My new roommate was the second. LOL.
Today there are three more posters looking for roommates.
Oh yeah. I didn't want to seem like I was poor or anything so I was a little vague.
But someone else was able to grasp the difference between $139 + 12% hotel tax + 7.75% sales tax x 7 nights... as opposed to $99 +12% hotel tax + 7.75% sales tax x 4 nights for me, 3 for her.
So, instead of $1174 for the hotel... I get to pay $477.89.
And she was able to put a hold on her credit card and we'll pay in cash.
Holy crap. The last piece of reservation hell is complete.
Now to just make it through all of the orientation assignments.
I'm still (already?!) having nightmares about missing deadlines.
Kiddo #1 is holding his own but could go at any moment... hopefully before I leave on Thursday or after we're back on Monday.
Kiddo #2 is just truckin' though I need to see him soon.
Hospital kiddo #1 is getting ready to need massive support since his surgeon screwed up beyond belief and I have an admission at two tomorrow. Well, actually two, but since cloning hasn't been perfected yet, there's one tomorrow and one Wednesday.
I feel really bad for my other kids. That's 32 others? I think. I lost count.
I'm tired. I feel like the little Morton's Salt girl.
When it rains, it pours.
