C1

Several posts ago I told you about C1. She's 21 years old and has decided she wants to move 13 hours away. My concern was that her budget for a hotel room for her pre-move trip was only $40. I got some great advice from readers. One person suggested that I check out the hotel. So I went to the hotel's (I think it's really a motel) website. I didn't like that it was like a motor lodge where you park your car in front of your room and walk into the room from the outside as opposed to walking into a lobby where there's a desk clerk and then going up to your room from the lobby. In addition I talked with some "live" friends (in addition to my new blogging friends) and decided that I would give her the addition $40-$50 per night she would need to stay at a name-brand hotel. I was just concerned with how this new expenditure would affect my shackle release plan.

My spouse is a good guy. I really should say he's amazing. He always watches my mini meltdowns and then quietly comes up with some suggestions to help. He also went online and found 3 name-brand hotels that would cost approximately $70 per night. Then he told me that he had the additional money she would need to afford it. It seems that when she pays her rent (yes, we charge her rent) he puts it in a savings account for her, but she has no clue. So the good news that I will have peace of mind because she will be in a reputable hotel.

Now, I told my spouse that he needs to be like a detective and figure out a way to go with her on the fact finding mission.

I guess I really am an enabler.
