As a boomerang I often get picked as the house sitter. No biggie, easy cash most of the time and a bit of time alone never hurt.
What hurts is the Christmas cookies that I made, with love because I didn't have the money for gifts, untouched in the pantry. It appears that every one I wrapped and boxed is still there, the only thing missing is the peanut brittle but I packaged that separately.
So my question to the world is, what do I do?
I know that most advice columnists would suggest I ignore the slight. Not my problem, I offered the gift freely and after I gave the gift I have no say on how it is used. And that's true but we're talking some perishable goods here and they're just so obviously there.
So I let it slide. I have to. But it kind of hurts. The bags of store-bought cookies all sit empty next to the homemade cookie box. And that hurts more.
