I just had the property manager slide a notice of entry into my door slot at 2pm today, and the notice is that they will be entering for inspections anytime between Tuesday - Friday from 9-5pm. It wasn't 24 hour notice, and when I brought that up, they said Florida statute is only 12 hours, and I said, well I'm pretty sure our lease is 24 hours. I also said, I want to be there...but really my biggest concern was that they would scare Fish or he might get out. So, and this was hard because I way overexplain and over-think, I finally said, I just want to know, if I put my dog in the bedroom, will you need to get in there or will he be out of your way? And she was like, oh yes, that's fine. And I said that I'd put a reminder note on both the doors to the bedroom.

I just don't want them to let my dog out or upset him or for him to get protective of his home and cause a problem. But I realized that sometimes when I'm having like a panic attack that my ability to communicate just dies. So the poor woman was trying to help me, and I was finally able to get to my point, which was, I just want to make sure my dog stays safe. So we figured it out, and I'm fine with them coming in tomorrow. I have to do some chores tomorrow morning to clean up a bit, but that's okay. Always good to have motivation to straighten up.

If I do happen to be home between those hours, I will just put a note on my door that says, "Person with disability resting inside. Please text or call cell phone to let me know you need entry."

God, that notice just could not have come at a worse time as I was worked up by this outright insult from my boss, which I decided I was not letting slip by, so I was worked up, then saw that I had to worry about people coming into my apartment the rest of the week.

I wish they would just use email. Or do the door thing but also email me. Because if I don't find out until I get home, and I need to put stuff away or straighten up, hide by drugs, whatever, (which I do have to hide my meds because they are scheduled drugs), if I need to pick up cleaning supplies so I can stop, or if I need to re-arrange my evening so I can prepare for it. Why can't they just send a notice by email too? They send us rent reminders every month, so what's the problem?

The email would take like 5 seconds to send out.

I don't get it.
