Goldey, enjoy the hotel while you can! I have relocated several times for H's job and each time we got to/had to say in a hotel while we house-hunted. I loved it! Having someone else clean for you, cook breakfast for you, no yard to take care of, it was awesome!
Good idea checking craigslist for free stuff. Hadn't thought of that!
Take care of yourself today... (and every day of course!)
