Jen - That is the perfect example!
Now I have a revolving front door it seems. Once someone comes in, another person leaves. Sometimes this is fun, and sometimes it is too much for me. I just need my space. When someone unannounced shows up, who I have never met in real time before, nor has Rosie, then it is another issue. I think people who don't have neurological disorders or diseases really do not understand this at all. They just don't grasp the concept of routines, and personal/public business. It is a fine line. Everyone has that line, but it is harder for those of us who are disabled to function and to express ourselves that others don't negate.
I am the one person that the kids in the neighborhood trust. So, I was "elected" to be the house that they go to if they get in trouble or if they needed help fast. I have no issues with that at all. In fact, I find it quite a gift that I was asked to do this for the children. I think that my late dog, Lil, would walk the kids to the bus stop, wait with them until they got on the bus, and then come home. And then like clockwork, at 3pm would walk down the street and sit and wait for the kids to come home from the school bus. I never saw anything like it to this very day. I got Lil when she was a few weeks old. I have no clue where she picked this up from. None at all.
