Keep calm

The roof on my house needs repairs and earlier today I had a roofer come over to see what needed to be done. I have been putting it off for so long and I decided to close the loop and get it sorted out.

He saw what needed to be done from outside the back and front of my house. I told him that there was water going through into my daughter’s bedroom and he asked to take a look. She was at work, so I took him up and showed him the damage to her ceiling.

When she got home, she asked if the roofer had gone into her bedroom and I said yes, as he needed to check the ceiling. She literally hit the roof and started going crazy that I could have told her beforehand and she would have cleared up. She left some worn knickers on the floor and a bra on the bed and she was going crazy that I hadn’t even moved them so he didn’t see them. I told her that he wasn’t interested in that and only took a quick look at the ceiling. I then said it’s done and I can’t go back and change something in the past so forget about it. She ranted on and on, so I put on my headphones and listened to Jim doing a relaxation video.

I stayed calm and it really helped me mentally, as I was going to just leave the room and go to bed and probably think about it and not sleep, but I managed not to get worked up, otherwise it could have turned into an argument and we would have both felt bad. I think that is definitely a win…
