Revenge UPDATE...

At 8.30am, after cuddling my son who had just gotten up and was sitting shivering on my lap, I decided enough was enough...

I was not waiting for some other adult to wake up, so that I could ask them please for the key to unlock the thermostat and raise the temperature from 55F to 68F...

So, I got my small hammer and with one blow smashed the front of the lock box open...

One problem solved - the heater is going and we shall be warm...

What other problems have I initiated with my choice?

What will be the consequence?   What will be the effects of my causing decision?

PS:   My daily tarot card was delivered to my email inbox while I was constructing this post...

It is:

"The Five of Pentacles card suggests that my power today lies in defiance. We are willing to reject the sure thing or accept excommunication to try to make it on our own rather than endure the status quo or submit to conditions that assume we are invisible -- in this, we have nothing to lose. We accept responsibility for the difficulties ahead and do not seek pity for having chosen against the grain. I am empowered by mutual support and my assets are self-worth, hope, and pride."
