The status is NOT quo.

All good health thoughts for SLNRLBF's son, askye. And calm strength for SLNRLBF himself. Have they investigated Lyme?

Yes, this. On both counts.

Good thoughts, askye.

Thrive to spite them

I don't know if they checked for Lyme. I'll ask tomorrow, I know they ruled out mono and some other things.

It's just really scary right now and it sucks that we're so far apart and I can't physically be there for SLNRLBF. I just want to give him lots of hugs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lots of health~ma, askye. Poor kid, and father, and you.

They're in my thoughts, askye.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Much ~ma for SLNRLBF's son. How scary! May the doctors quickly find out what's wrong, and may it be easily treatable.

Our wings are not tired.

Lot's of health~ma for the boy, askye.

Looks like I am moving south mid-April. Need to go there again some time this weekend and figure out where we put stuff and that kind of thing. Papers signed and check written so it is a done deal. It is a good thing to move every 10 years or so. The closets never get cleaned out properly any other way.

Congrats, Laura! May the move go smoothly, and the closets be cleaned effortlessly.

To the place you showed us Laura? Woot, time for buffistas to party! :)

I am early crew this morning! My BIL apparently woke up at 3:30AM, so I heard him showering around 7, and when there were still persistent moving around sounds at 7:30, I figured on investigating--turns out even my slothful sister, who is like me, was awake! At that point I figured I'd be good host and get up too, so she's in the shower, and he and I are ready to go, go check out the city. It's supposed to be a good day!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have an etiquette question. Let me give you the background saga.

I'm going to the Leverage con in a couple weeks. When I got my tickets, the hotel was sold out. A month before the con, and no rooms had opened up. Someone posted on the forum looking for a roommate. Now I hate sharing rooms, but I also hate being in a different hotel, so I took the offer and paid my share. Then I realized that I was not going to be #4; there were already 4 women and I would be #5, which I didn't realize until someone said "Hope you don't mind sleeping on the floor!" But I already paid so I gritted my teeth and let it go. Then, surprise, a room opened up at the hotel, and I grabbed it. I posted my glee on Twitter. One of the women I was supposed to be sharing with - now Following me, surprise - emailed me like 2 seconds later asking frantically what was going on. I explained, she got a little snippy. Now, I know they might all have had to change their plans if I pulled out, but I had already paid them and I wasn't asking for my money back. The woman who had collected the money then emailed me. (I fully intended to email her about the sitch, but I was busy that day, and I didn't see it as urgent since after all they were better off now, getting money for nothing.) I explained again, and said that since I'd already paid them and I still didn't have a room for Thursday, maybe I could stay with them that night. (My share was almost enough to cover a room for one night. I thought I was being extra polite to even *ask* if I could.) Her response was that maybe they could squeeze me in.

Squeeze me in? To a room I've already paid for? For one night, when I'd originally planned to stay with them for three?

Now I really don't want to stay in the same room with these ladies, even more than I didn't want to before.

So, the etiquette question: Today on LJ a woman posted that her roommate for the con had backed out, and she was looking for either a roommate or crash space. Would it be bad form for me to suggest that she take my place, and pay me what I paid them? How would I go about suggesting this? I don't know the woman who's looking, but I don't these other women either, so... I don't know if I should just leave well enough alone, or what. I'd really like to get a room for myself for that night, but I can't quite justify spending more money when I've already paid $140.

So, what do I do? Suck it up, spend the extra money for a room, or brazenly suggest they talk to someone else about taking my place?

I hate complications.
