And sometimes, it's good to let them know that you are looking for someone just to help you unwind a bit @Captain24 I remember one call to psychiatric triage very clearly. One I would never forget. I was in such a bad place and called them. We ended up chatting and they asked me to watch this particular show which was in a totally different language because after talking to me, they thought I'd enjoy it. Something about the apple of your eye or something. I think it was in chinese or japanese. I had no idea what it was saying. I may have just read the subtitles. But that was enough to de-escalate me from crisis.
It doesn't work all the time, but it worked this time.
As for house-sitting, I haven't made it yet. My niece won't let me. So I'm thinking to bring her with me on the weekend and she can stay over too. My niece is a bit sensitive at the moment because everyone went on school camp, but she wasn't allowed to go. So she's a bit down. Hence I have to be nice to her for a few more days lol. To be honest, my niece has grown up a lot. At the beginning of the year, she would no way have been ready for camp. Now, I reckon she could have gone... after all, she's only 7 years old!
At last! My nephew likes the dog now. I haven't seen him with her since he started 'liking' her yesterday. He's the neat freak. He spent his time rearranging her dog toys.
