Lilith
Update // we're booked officially formally paid for - and everyone is fed up to death

Edit: Legally she can't cancel just because he's a service dog BUT I WANTED TO AVOID THIS ALTOGETHER And I want to kill some of my family
Edit 2: everything is okay T_T except the house it's bad D:
Loup D'etat
I’m glad you found some shelter
Lilith
/o/ I mean it's straight up a vacation spot because the more local hotels are way more expensive and don't meet the necessities....
Lilith
Mom input her credit card wrong twice so was scared of getting locked out but mooseys was fine so ayyyy
Lilith
Kyle spent 4 hours trying to help her and losing his fucking mind which yeah no like.... I've been telling him for 8 years living with her is a slow painful death where I can't even flee :V mind you we had fled... twice....
Lilith
She put in the check in date for today and is mad at herself for it and I'm like... for tye last 48 hours your whole thing was that its not fast enough? Calm thine boobies
Lilith
Lilith
moosechangerpat boooooooooooooooooooooooooks
Lilith
Tbf I did (do) want to see hurricane waves :3333333333333
kingdonkey
Yay! At least it has been done
Lilith
I'm lowkey panicking that maybe she booked next year not this minute but --
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
I think most won't let you book that far in advance, to avoid that kind of thing happening?
Lilith
YES correct it is definitely booked for yesterday making it active this morning but there's a 24 hour window they can back out and uh HOPEFULLY WON'T BECAUSE THEY sent the key codes etc. lmfao
Lilith
The other problem is I'm sick already, the kitchen is so bad Mom and Kyle can't go in it, Moosey's getting sicker by the moment -> even though the price range difference on Oct 1st vs. literally yesterday is INSANE (1 month discounts ;-)) Everyone is just "GO GO GO We need to be gone LAST Tuesday" which like I get it (I'm dying literally lol) but like....
Lilith
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THAT INSTANTLY And/OR TIMEBEND?
Lilith
BAH HUMBUG!!!!!

- It was one of the NOT dog-friendly places I didn't link so I sent a message saying "My Mom has a pomeranian service dog (very very small!) - AirBNB doesn't list them as pets but we don't want this to be a surprise!" and they cancelled (? maybe they seemed confused because they said "no pets" - He's not a pet)
Lilith
LEGALLY like they can't discriminate which is why AirBnB doesn't list them if they're service dogs but that's a super shitty thing to do to people
Whatson
John was okay with the dog but your mother with the Wormtongue fuckface crew whispering in her ear told her to abandon it
Lilith

Lilith

Lilith
"to save money on price" MOM FOR THE FUCKING LOVE OF GOD
Lilith
SHE WAS WILLING to spend $600 a night
Lilith
Okay I found the John one and messages
Lilith
I am just crying
Lilith
I'm so mad again
Lilith
I don't know maybe she was right? Like surprise fees suck
Lilith
I'm so stressed. I've been at this since Tuesday.
Lilith
Adam and morons convinced her she doesn't have to look for pet friendly because he's a service animal and legally and AirBNB says you don't have to include him but AGAIN
Lilith
(annoyed)
Lilith
BE FUCKING MORAL
Lilith
God the price would have been so much better a week ago if people just let me put in FOR TODAY BUT NO
Lilith
everyone kept trying to get me out before this weekend so I wouldn't be vomiting blood and guess what
Lilith
I had to wake up moosey but
Lilith
So legally she can't cancel us for Mom's service dog
Lilith
(because it'd be cancelling us for a legally protected disability )
Lilith
But I'm a million kinds of IFFY on whether this is a SMART SAFE HAPPY THING and we should do that to someone
Lilith
Ditto we're all getting ID-checked
Lilith
I am not in a happy head place
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
I mean there's what the law says but then the fact that if someone really doesn't want an animal on their property they probably don't care what its purpose is - they'll find some reason to cancel.
Lilith
right?
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
You're much safer going with someone who is happy with animals
Lilith
Exactly
Lilith
MUTAL BENEFIT CONTRACTS
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
Ari approves. ;-) (and also even if you are in the right you already have way too much going on to be dealing with disability discrimination case stuff on top of it :/ )
Lilith
Okay right now inputing IDs, though I really want to write that message up (LOL)
Lilith
PLUS I MEAN HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET 4 fucking disabled dummies
Lilith
My grandparents called :T I am like Mom again decision paralysis
Lilith
"CC are you already on the cape? (woot)"
CC: T_T nooooo
Lilith
Grandma: D: where are you?
CC: D: D: Still School street
Grandma: O_O what whyyyyy
Lilith
They're right I mean the one PHYSICALLY taking this hardest is me but u_u;
Lilith
I don't want to force someone into something they're massively uncomfortable with
Lilith
I mean ffs the first guy cancelled just because he thought we should be booking for longer than a month because renovations take too long and housing is out of their fucking minds if they think they'll finish in a week/two (THEY ALSO THINK THEY CAN DO IT WITH US LIVING HERE BUT LOL NO??? Legally again since the BATHROOM WOULDN'T BE FUNCTIONAL)
Lilith
I freaked out again (LOL)
Lilith
We have all the IDs together but
Exacerangutan
jfc
Exacerangutan
Lilith
they're not letting me
Lilith
Ugh I just want to go back to NY to home T_T
Exacerangutan
sounds like y'all need a project manager
Lilith
WE DOOOOOO Too many cooks in the kitchen and Kyle was trying to help Mom type WHILE SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH DOOFUSES
Exacerangutan
...also I get the vibe you're trying to be the project manager while medically unable to do the necessary cat-herding.
Lilith
roflmao you're 100% correct
Lilith
HENCE THE CRYING
Exacerangutan
Exacerangutan
obviously I haven't been in the same position but I can relate
Lilith
(drinking)
Exacerangutan
trying to project-manage without the ability to actually do so for whatever reason (in my case, historically, generally a lack of actual authority to get people in line) is stressful
Lilith
It is (LOL)
Lilith
I'm still very nervous about this T_T
Exacerangutan
wish i could offer more than good thoughts and internet moral support x.x
Lilith
THAT HELPS <3333
Exacerangutan
pls be gentle with yourself and communicative about your needs (which i think you are mainly but i think it's also one of your blinders)
Exacerangutan
...also i wonder if there's a way to do some more purposeful delegation... (thinking)
Exacerangutan
like a happy medium between "I'll do it myself" and "ok you can do it, i hope it gets done" with some specific, individually suited tasks, but maybe that's obvious... orz
Lilith
Moosey (annoyed) but Dad literally had him playing Heroes 3 last night until WHO THE FUCK KNOWS WHEN
Exacerangutan
don't mind me i'm just brainstorming
Lilith
ALAS I had delegated MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NO ONE STAYS IN THEIR LANE AND DID WHAT I TASKED (annoyed)
Lilith
And I said "Ignore the dipshits they suck" but that was.... very bad messaging on my part obviously (LOL)
Lilith
Not no one. Mom did the financing wrangling (which I cannot)
Lilith
Kyle did the typing and tried to tell her to IGNORE THE DIPSHITS
Lilith
but that doesn't work when they're literally talking in her ear on the phone and she thinks they're H E L P I N G
Lilith
I'm tired
Lilith
I didn't want to go with AirBnB to begin with
Lilith
SHE HAS OTHER OPTIONS (see above)
Lilith
But Mom and Moosey are like "A bird in the hand...."
Lilith
Meanwhile I'm like "BUT I DON'T WANT TO TORTURE THE BIRD HIDEYOSHI'S"
Lilith
Triple also Moosey is like "Oh we have to leave like NOW NOW NOW" and I was like "THEN FUCKING FUND IT AND PICK A PLACE"
Lilith
So he doesn't want to fuck this one up buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
Lilith
I don't feel like this is a "I'm being too choosy" thing I feel strongly like this is fucking HEALTH AND GOD DAMN SAFETY
Lilith
You shouldn't pressure someone just because of law to do something they are not happy with
Lilith
-- I mean yes there are
Lilith
mitigating circumstances and definitely reasons to have certain laws etc.
Lilith
but since the law doesn't allow for stringent requirements on service dogs or even adequate protection for landlords -- YOU KNOW IT IS FUCKED UP WHEN I AM TRYING TO HELP A LANDLORD
Lilith
/screams into fist
Lilith
Decision paralysis again. -- got an airbnb rep checking on the okays and I AM JUST
Exacerangutan
...negotiate with them that you understand they feel ambushed so you'll try and find another place quick but you really need somewhere to go as a matter of survival? idk
Lilith
THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY
Lilith
But like ^ that.
Lilith
And I feel like
Lilith
THE LONGER WE TAKE WITH THIS THE WORSE IT GETS
Lilith
and has been getting the whole fucking week
Lilith
But simply "GO FAST GO NOW" makes it worse
Lilith
/pulls both cheeks out
Lilith
Okay we have backups the problem is
Lilith
We can't contact them without saying first "Hey [Place A] if this is uncomfortable for you we don't want to do that to you, we understand! [We won't sue for discrimination lol]"
Exacerangutan
yeah no there's... this is why we establish clear, explicit priorities in procedures
Lilith
But the "ambassador" to help smoot things over ^ (AirBnB rep) isn't going to tell her that
Lilith
idk I WANNA CHEW ON MOOSEY
Exacerangutan
so you don't have five people disagreeing and paralyzing each other with different ideas and concerns that they're fielding mid crisis
Lilith
exactly
Lilith
Mind you that happened with some of the people too (LOL) literally 1 would be like "YEAH COME OVER :-D" and then their partner would be like "NO SOUNDS WEIRD AND SUSS"
Exacerangutan
... it's awkward and unusual having to apply project management techniques to family, so i can understand the difficulty there, but
Lilith
Which as Kyle said too "we get it. There's so many red flags for us"
Lilith
We're not on the books for having previously used AirBnB, we're TOTALLY weirdos, and we're not coming for HAPPY FUNTIME VACATION which speeds up the problems
Lilith
brb chewing on Dad instead :VVVVV VICIOUSLY
Exacerangutan
i kinda feel like it's one of those "recognize, own, and work around your issues" things that's easy to say as an outsider and often hard and uncomfortable to actually do... orz
Lilith
I think you're right though like
Lilith
I should also stop trying to help other people deal with our disabilities
Lilith
Like just because it's weird doesn't mean we're doing something wrong, and it is a good thing to protect people with disabilities
Lilith
I hate being less than ideal
Lilith
It's not less CC
Lilith
GOOD POINT
Lilith
And I should let other people do their jobs
Lilith
I'll chill out
Exacerangutan
yeah there's being considerate and trying to accommodate other people's needs, and then there's neglecting your own needs to avoid inconveniencing anyone
kingdonkey
Ilu. I’m sorry things keep getting crazy
kingdonkey
I would fight if I could
Lilith
TRUE Everything seems okay :3 No doggie on the furniture but he has his own bed etc. etc.
Lilith
Rofl to get the IDs Mom got Moosey's disability plaquard and Dad was like "Noooo this is mine" and I'm like "Noooo that's MOOSEY" and he was like "omfg he looks a lot like me :-o"
Lilith
/scream
Loup D'etat
Oh my goodness CC, I wish I could help. I'm glad you found a roof
Lilith
Mom and Dad are getting a hotel in town for the night because he has to be in Worcester tomorrow and he kept barking drill sgt. orders at me while having me book it and I'm like "Dad shush. SHUSH. Shuuuuush" and I fucked it up because I didn't change my the info from what I had before when I was looking for ALL of us so it kept demanding 4 people and o
Lilith
*offering me and Moosey sharing a bed (FUCKING VETO)
Lilith
ANNNND THE DATE
Lilith
I somehow got it to only do one night (I assume because nightly rate instead of month and/or a month was impossible now lmao) but for the 15th not tonight (annoyed)
Lilith
So then I got to make Dad do the work to fix it because somebody couldn't stfu (nottalking)
Lilith
DEF. will admit I prefer the hotel option of JUST CHECK A BOX FOR SERVICE ANIMAL
Lilith
Bim bam boom
