I can relate...I have phone anxiety. While in the midsts of complete family chaos a few years back, I got to the point where everytime the phone rang, I would feel panic. Actually, any unexpected loud noise would startle me. I finally got to the point where I turned the ringer off at home...and disconnected the doorbell.

...with technology the way it is these days and the vast difference between the generations, phone calls are rarely good news. At least in my experience. And anyone that comes to my home unannounced or without notice, is not welcome.

Hugs to you, R
