I am okay with xylitol in toothpaste, but I don't swallow. In general, it's sugar or agave or nothing for me. I don't need anything sweet enough to handle the weird taste of most of the rest, even if most of them weren't migraine triggers.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got the best manicure I've had in years, and of course immediately fucked up practically one whole hand getting my keys out. She did say I could come in within three days to get anything fixed, and I did overtip (due to not having the right change for 20%), so maybe I will go back. Oy vey.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Now I'm trying to book a room on Priceline, and it keeps adding nights. One night! Not two! And now that I've backed up to the beginning, not three nights either!
Is there a way to search for sketchy motels? All my searches keep landing me in hotels. (shoot, there was a hostel that was ridiculously expensive).
Basically, I'm looking for a dive that I only plan to sleep in. I'll bring the febreeze. I know it's been forever since I rented a room, but I'd like to find something in or close to Boston that is ninety bucks or cheaper. I'll even take Quincy.

For the weekend? I would say you can definitely find a nice hotel in the financial district for less than $90 on Priceline, but maybe not 4th of July weekend.

Jesse, I was thinking Sunday night going into Monday. Does that still count as a holiday weekend?

For tomorrow night, Hotwire shows a bunch of places under $125, which I think means you should be able to get $90 on Priceline.
You could also try the Courtyard Marriott in Cambridge or the Holiday Inn in Somerville -- those are cheaper chains. Oh, there's also a crappy hotel in Harvard Sq -- the Harvard Square Hotel. If you end up there, let me know, because I live around the corner!

I was poking around, so crossposted. Sunday night should be even better, with holiday people leaving.

Thanks Jesse! I'll let you know what happens.
I figure if I'm going to drive 9 hours round trip, I might as well spend the night so I don't stress myself out, and can take in the city at night (unless you count Christmas at like 6pm at Faneuil Hall), which I've never done. And there might also be fact-finding missions involved for writing purposes. But also, I just miss the heck out of Boston, and have a craving for the Ye Olde Oyster House.
