Yankee gone south
Hey guys,
So I have a unique situation coming up and I'm already panicking about it and hoping you guys can offer some advice. I just accepted a new teaching job that requires a week stay in the capitol for training. At first I was really stoked about it, getting a room paid for and a stipend I thought it would be like a mini vacation. I was excited to get to catch up on my shows at night in between my online masters assignments without all the distractions when I'm home, plus I figured I'd stock the mini fridge with my DS foods and be good to go. Until I found out I'll be sharing a room with a stranger. Dun dun dunnnnnn! What in the fuck? I'm not a college freshman that's cool with doing that, plus, and more importantly, how am I to handle the bathroom and gas situation???? I'm going to be anxious as hell (I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder)and when my anxiety is bad, I tend to shove carbs in my face to calm me down. I can't drink a bunch of wine unless I wanna lose my job before it starts and I don't wanna be too doped up on x ana x all week. Hubby thinks I should stay in a different hotel and we'll pay for it or see if they have a group rate at that hotel or something, but money is super tight from unsteady paychecks at my current job (which is why I'm leaving) and I dunno if we can swing it. The thought of *attempting* to sleep in a room with a strange person actually gave me nightmares last night! Ugh!
