Morning Post for 17 July, 2020

Happy Friday!!

So, let me just tell y'all right now, last night was one of the most stressful nights of my life! So, someone accidentally locked our bathroom door before closing it which I guess they must've been half asleep and thought they were closing the front door since we lock it from the inside then close it.

Well there isn't anything my dad can't fix, like he is the handiest man I have ever met and he would've had this corrected in no time. However, he has a really difficult time sleeping at night and typically only gets like 3-4 hours of sleep a night so when I went to get him but realized he was actually in a good deep sleep, I couldn't wake him. It was like 1 am and he has to work in the morning.

Enter me--a woman who has absolutely no business working with even a screwdriver. I figured if we unscrewed the door knob and pushed the other side out, it would automatically unlock. Nope. Kind of made it worse.

So, I went and got my brother who worked for about an hour on it. He broke half the lock off that was inside the door. At this point, we've pretty much f&cked it up way worse than it could've been and we literally have two people who really need to use the bathroom.

I'm trembling in a panic, on the verge of tears (I did break down one time) and am desperately praying to the angels for help because this is a rental property so we can't like break the door down or anything. I was getting pissed because the angels didn't seem to be helping me. All I could think was "We should've just woken dad. We need him to check it out.". I want to note that I'm terrified for him to find the door like this because we f&cked it up because we didn't want to wake him...

He wakes up around 4/5 am to find it and strangely isn't angry. Within 30 minutes, he had the door opened. 40 minutes total? A new door knob and lock on the door and it looks like nothing happened.

I realized that when I kept praying for assistance, those thoughts to get dad to help were my angels answering my prayer because he knew what to do. I refused to listen because I refused to see that as an option since I wanted to fix it before he woke. I refused to listen to the guidance I'd received.
