My day started with hearing from my boyfriend, who's just arrived in Tokyo. The first thing his parents told him was that they can't go on holiday when they were meant to because his father has to have keyhole surgery, which will delay their holiday by 12 days. Since I stay at their house while they're away and they don't even know he's gay or that I exist, this rather screws up my holiday.
We've spent the last 11 hours on Messenger and the net trying to sort out what to do. We can't change the dates of my flights because a) that would mean basically booking and paying for a brand new flight and b) there's no guarantee they'll go away after the op, even though they want to. So we decided to look for a reasonable hotel for me instead. While we were umming and ah-ing, the one room we found that would be central and within our price range went to someone else. So since then we've been scouting around for one that isn't so far out of the centre that I'd spend most of the day lost on the Metro system, while still being within our price range and available for the dates we want.
All of this while my boyfriend is getting over a 12-hour flight! So he's had to give up and go to bed and we're no nearer solving this. If I have to miss out on Tokyo this year I'm going to feel so down.
A smaller problem is how to pay for the damn hotel. I have enough on both my credit cards combined to pay for it, but not on a single card. Of course, the websites won't let you split the payment and you only get the money-off deals if you book through the websites. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
