It's Been A Hard Few Days

I dislike this time of year so much. All I want to do is hibernate until late April or May. I had the Do Not Disturb on on my phone today so I missed the alarm to make sure my daughter was ready for her appointment to get her monthly shot. We called and rescheduled but I felt so bad. The kids need to become more responsible and we will work on that. 
Plus we got a letter from housing on Saturday that sent my anxiety up, up and away. I worried and fretted wondering why they were 'reaching out to us" My insecure mind always goes to the worst possible scenario. I emailed and left a phone message. So, finally, on Tuesday we got a call back and all she wanted was to ask if we knew of any odd things going on in the complex. I guess they have had some reports of theft. And, she also wanted to update their information because the number they have wasn't working. She read off the number they had for us and it was one number off. Someone had transcribed it incorrectly. 

And, I have been awakened every day this week so far with pounding going on next door. The tenants moved out and maintenance is doing some reconditioning over there. Ugh! So I am grumpy.

I'm glad the letter wasn't about something really worrisome. Although just remember to keep the doors locked! Don't be grumpy! Christmas is on Monday! Have a great weekend.

Thank you! It is our only option so I have to stay with it. We have no family or friends that might take us in if something happened so it is doubly scary. I don't think I could live through being homeless for one day.

@celticeagle One of my sisters is in Public Housing. She is doing something stupid. IF she were to be booted she would have no where to go.

I'm sorry this time of year is hard on you. I'm glad you could reschedule your daughter's appointment.
I'm glad your anxiety was unfounded, and Housing only had a few questions about the goings on in your complex. I'm glad you got the phone number corrected with them.

Gee, you're as bad as me with the paranoia! The complex supervisor came by and the first words out of my mouth were "Now what did I do?" In October I was investigated because the crazy neighbor man claimed that I was sexually harassing him and stalking him. I finally told the lot of them that the man is crazier than a loon and uglier than a mud fence. I still hide when I see him coming.
They love to use us as "spies" so they can keep up on things without having to pay for the information. I am glad about the rescheduling. Around here if you miss the appointment it could be 6 weeks to 3 months before you could get back in to see the doctor.
