So I'm sitting in a hotel room in Orlando
and I get a call from Lucas' charter school. It's after 6 pm and no one has picked him up. I figure The Husband is asleep and can't hear the phone and start to panic. I'm about to call my parents, when I get another call from the school. The Husband is there, but he has some 'bad news.'
OK....
"I totaled your car and just got out of the emergency room and had to take a cab to the school, but don't worry."
Uh, right. Somewhere along the line he left his phone at home, so I'm sitting here waiting for him to call me back, wondering how much a cab costs from downtown to the Unfashionable Southeast Side.
Because I work for the State, this trip to BlackBerry World is on my dime until I get reimbursed --probably in 2015 if all the forms are submitted in triplicate -- so there's not much financial cushion until I get paid. Even though the Institution wanted me to go. *sigh*
One thing the Institution does pay for up front is the plane ticket, and I may be hauling my ass back to Bayou City tomorrow.
We'll see. I also haven't slept in over 30 hours, so there's only so much worrying I'm capable at this point anyway.
