A client texted me last night because she locked herself out of the house (I have a key).
I only live six blocks away. But I was in bed (8pm, she was just getting home).
I tried hard to ignore it because… BOUNDARIES.
But then I laid there and thought about how she’s a single mom who lives alone (with partial custody of her kids), she has a joint disorder, who had to work until freaking 8pm and the dog is locked inside the house.
I showed up 15 minutes later in full pajamas with my key (which didn’t get her in, but hey I tried).
It absolutely felt like the right thing to do, and I like doing the right thing, but I also like going to bed at 8. No wait, I love going to bed at 8. Couldn’t fall asleep properly once I got home.
You could have her/ whoever come to you if something like it happens again- might be less disruptive to your sleep if you only have to go to the door and hand over a key.
I was up until 2 because of pain then at 4 the dog vomited then at 5 the smaller kid wanted attention. I am so tired, and I can’t go back to bed for a few hours because foster kid is here.
I skipped a bunch of comments in the Tiny Victories thread due to not checking the forum all weekend, and the forum search is failing me so I can’t find the origin of “Tony Victor.”
Ugh. I love CO from June-October, and then some parts of Winter…you know, the normal parts like January/February when you expect snow to be on the ground. But I HATE Spring. I’m never wearing the correct clothing, I’m either too hot or too cold, and then oh crap, it snowed again? Too bad I just got the snow tires taken off my car because it was May 15th and I figured it was actually not Winter anymore
OMG, Greyweld, I would consider that a HUGE complaint. I would be apoplectic. I’m crabby enough that it’s 48 and raining here in late MAY, FFS. If I saw snow today I think I would finally pull the trigger and flee for California, job or no job.
I changed my phone number a while ago. Just realized that I didn’t update it with Vanguard. Now, I cannot get into Vanguard because they keep texting a security code to my old number. So I decided to email customer service - nope, you can’t do that unless you’re logged in. And I can’t log in without the code from a phone number I no longer have. ARGH. I am going to have to MAKE A PHONE CALL. Nooooooooooo
