We are going to leave Sassy in Pittsburgh, because Pete's son decided he'd stay here instead of travel to NY to visit his family. His car needs repairs and he wants to work extra hours during his college break, so he'll be able to take care of her for us while we're in Michigan.
That means, we will NOT have to get a "pet-friendly" hotel in Grand Rapids, we can just get a motel room in Muskegon. I am calling around today to make some reservations. We just need a place with high-speed wireless internet connection so Pete can bring his work laptop, he's on call 24/7 with this "crunch time" project they're working on, so he has to be able to access his company's network, and that is not available via dial-up.
Another new thing is thatI also got a call today for a temp job that starts this Wednesday; it's part-time, Wed, Thur, and Friday each week, but it's better than nothing. The temp agency is checking to make sure that I won't have to be there the day after Xmas, so we'll see if it'll actually happen or not. I told them that I'd be traveling and would not be able to work that day, so we'll see if the company will allow that or not. If not, I guess I won't take the job. Going home to see my family & friends for Xmas is more important than a part-time temp job. So, I can work this week at this job, and hey that'll put $$ in the gas tank so every little bit helps, but NEXT week, we're supposed to be in Rochester NY visiting with Pete's family.
I may just go do this week and tell them on Friday that I don't like it, and won't be going back, because I don't want to miss out on the travel and visiting with everybody for the holidays.
Well, that's the scoop. When I get a motel reserved in Muskegon this week, I will let you know.
love, Becky
