I Spent All Day Monday Resolving Issues

I spent a good chunk of my day Monday making phone calls to follow up on things that needed resolution. One was looking for a check for $125 refund from my Bank. One was the CPAP supplies which I already posted about. One was about transitioning the mother-in-law to Memory Care. One was about a Health Insurance Claim that hadn't processed. One was booking a " free cruise" that I won. That was a fun one. Do you ever have days where it seems like all you're doing is putting out fires? My husband calls me a "bulldog with a pork chop" because I don't give up and I keep going until things get resolved.

I hate it when things don't go right & it takes all my stress to get things on track, But I don't give up till it's done & taken care of rather it takes 30 mins or 3 hrs. I stay on it.

There are days when I have a lot of calls to make. Today I need to track down a return address label I need for my medical alert pendant that doesn't work; and I need to reschedule a doctor's appointment. Not bad.

That is good that you keep going until things get resolved.

Yes, I have days like that. My daughter will start working on something over the phone and then just stop. She says she's overwhelmed and I have to call the same company and finish working things out. Who does she think is going to do that when I can't anymore? Sometimes she irritates the pee out of me. If she doesn't want to tackle something, she should just tell me she doesn't want to do it and I'll take care of it.
