Challenging Day That Ended Well
Written 1/2/2024.
The day started with a friend who has an addiction breaking off contact with me (they had never had a friendship with a mentally healthy male and she’s working with her sponsor who said to break off contact – I’m a little sad, but she needs to do what’s best for her).
An individual client keeps blowing up my personal cell phone. I gave them explicit instructions on what to do (they need to call a particular hospital and ask how Medicaid works). It’s that they kept calling/texting at night when I told him that nothing can be done tonight (we have until 1/15 to make changes), that I was in a class, and they still didn’t get a fucking clue. I have got to start charging an hourly fee for this.
The rest of the day was good. Took a cooking class with my daughter and ex-wife. We had a lot of fun making paella.
Rounded the night out with a conversation with a friend in California.
Not accurate. I have a best friend who is a male and he is emotionally available and healthy. There is no weirdness between us, nor any ambiguity. I'm close to his whole family--an aunt to his kiddo and his wife is my fabulous editor. So-- you don't even know me.
