Caught up after being a super slacker since my original post on your PTR!Oh, and tip for Boardwalk, I recommend requesting a room close to the lobby or close to an elevator!
That's funny you call yourself a super slacker since I hardly ever post in here!
I filled out our touring plans room request and asked for the room second from the elevator. Hope it's at least close to that!
Also count me in as understanding the "thrill" of entering through IG lol.
People think I'm nuts. "I CAN WALK TO EPCOT!!"
Watching this one! So sorry you had to cancel your other trips. And wow, your poor son having to go through all that. I'm looking forward to following along!
Welcome! Hopefully I'm a better poster now!
So a quick life update and then back to plans.
I submitted my certification project on Tuesday. What a great feeling! Now I just have to wait to hear if I have any rewrites, finish up about 3 hours of continuing education webinars or books and I'm done. Graduation in July in DC if I make it.
Last Tuesday I signed a formal job offer to work permanently at the place where I was just filling in while they looked for someone to replace their accountant who quit. I only work part time anyhow and this was turning out to be about 15 hours a week so it's just barely full time between both. Super doable. And the new place offered me more money than the current job. Disney money!
So, here's my downer post. Last Wednesday my mom called and asked if I was at home and sitting down. It's never a good thing when anyone starts a conversation like that. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. And thanks to a gynocologist who ignored her when she went to him in October and in December, it's pretty bad. Her surgery is March 16. Most likely chemo after but that depends on her surgery and scan after.
I throw up every day. This sucks. Leave it to bad timing for me to pick up a second job right when this happens. She lives 3 hours away and I'm the only child anywhere close. My brother is 900 miles away. Thankfully my step-siblings are close to them and my stepsister has offered to help however she can, but it's not the same and causing a huge amount of guilt. I'm really good at guilt.
As of now, against my better judgement, our trip is still on. I hate the thought of going while she's sick (see, again, guilt) People say I'll desperately need to get away at that point. She will be recovered from surgery and most likely have just started chemo. And if it's as bad as it sounds, the months after our trip are going to be pretty taxing, especially if I'm driving 3 hours back and forth. Of course if her condition gets worse, we'll cancel (again) So please send prayers and pixie dust to my momma.
I'm really regretting not getting trip insurance!
But now, on to happier topics! Daily plans. We are 56 days away!
