OMG. Miss KT got a letter on Friday from college stating that she was only part-time, and financial aid is only awarded if she's full time. The admissions counselor she's working with is out of the office until Tuesday, so she's freaking out about it all weekend long. Today, she gets an e-mail introducing her to her roommates; they find each other on FB, it's all good, she's calmed down about the course load, she's waitlisted, it'll be fine.
Half an hour ago, the Earth's orbit shifted yet again. She just found out the apartment she is moving into IN TWO WEEKS is not furnished. She will need a bed, a dresser, and a desk. She can rent these items for $200 a year, or bring her own from home. She called her father, of course, he has no idea what to tell her. She calls her grandmother (from whom all monies flow), and Grandma immediately gets angry that I won't let Miss KT take her daybed, and is not willing to give her any money. (by the way, this woman's stinginess is legendary. She has more money than she knows what to do with, but anytime Miss KT needs some financial help, it is "the responsibility of your mother and her husband." Really? Your only son fathered your only grandchild, and you can't even kick in for her car registration or a flippin' bed? Not to mention the fact that we're traveling to school with her, gas, food, hotels...but anyway...)
Miss KT doesn't want to take her daybed to school. Her dressers are part of an antique bedroom set that she will not be taking. So...it looks like we will be looking for inexpensive furniture when we get her to school. I'm really afraid to see the next school communication...
