Met with temp agency recruiter. Definitely not the highlight of my day--meeting the recruiter, who was wearing a polyester suit, in a bare-bones windowless office. But they'll help me out with finding a permanent position, and in the meantime, there is a doc review project starting in another week.
I did not know that I would be locked into a doc review project once I started--so I told them that for now I am only interested in short term projects. I do not want to sign on for a 6 week project only to have the perfect job fall in my lap (which is exactly what would happen, the way my life typically works out.)
Then, DH and I decided to visit MIL this weekend. The inlaws are living out of a hotel for the next three weeks while MIL receives combo chemo/radiation treatments. They are about 700 miles from home, but only about 250 miles from us, so we thought we'd go down for the weekend to lift her spirits.
I spent the rest of my afternoon planning meals that I could make for them that MIL could possibly tolerate.
Then I researched cheap, decent hotels on Hotwire and Priceline. There are better deals to be had on Priceline, and I am better able to gauge which hotel I will end up with. But Priceline will only guarantee one bed--a problem for a family of 5. So I went with Hotwire and I ended up with the Crowne Plaza for $60/night.
Tomorrow I have another interview. Afterward, I'll cook for the inlaws and pack us up.
Friday the kids have field day at school. Usually these things end early, so DH and I will go the field day thing and then pull the kids out of school and hit the road as soon as they start wrapping up.

Totally doing a double-take: What's that? $60/night? At a Crowne Plaza?! That's kind of a nice-ish place, isn't it? That's kind of an awesome deal, I'm thinkin'...well anyway, even if a Crowne Plaza is just "meh"...it's still an AWESOME rate! Good job!
