So got a day off...but not how I wanted to

Last night I called to confirm a session with a patient. The patient's foster mom mom reminded her daughter and her daughter yelled "I am going to kill myself if I have to see Lynsey tommorow. She makes me tired".
Even though I let the mom know not making her child attend previously scheduled appoitments is enabeling the exact issue Medicaid is paying me for, she still gave into her foster daughter.
I only had that one appoitment today so I ended up with the whole day off, which I am secretley happy about. But, it does suck because I am a consultant so I don't get paid when a patient cancels.
So I cleaned the crap outta the house, am making french baquettes, watched the BBC and ate truffles and drank wine. Good day off...but weird reason to have it off.
I have to admit my ego is a bit hurt even though I know this child is very mentally unstable, no one wants to hear someone threaten to kill themselves if they have to see you.

 

I'm sorry lyns....I've had someone who wasn't mentally unstable tell me if they had to be in a room with me they'd kill themselves, and they meant it..

I know you didn't get paid for the day, but at least you got some relaxation time in, you know... Wouldn't let that comment get to you though...

 

Thanks Kayla Chocolate, Xanax and wine helped me get over it. Sleeping in was nice too. I smell very bad though. I need to take a bath. I think I will do that.

 

could be worse; my first thought was that she actually killed herself because of the appointment...

 

yikes, undies.

Lyns: Means youre doin your job well. I feel proud of you.

 

positives: she didn't kill herself, you got a day off

 

awe thanks
I just took the most delicious bath. I feel fab. It was one of those baths where you are so relaxed you accidentaly pee in the bath.

 

HHAHAHA! Omg I hope one day I have such a bath. I usually just pee in the shower.

 

I am def a shower pee-er.

 

wow...thats a statement...

but the bath sounds wonderful

 

It was onfe of the best exeperxiences of my life

 

Thank god...

I thought I was the only shower pee-er.
