What I learned from being a facilitator is that the Robs of the world have never been listened to.
That does not make it your job to do so.
You can, however, give him boundaries. "Rob, I am so sorry, I need to run. Thank you for x." And then run.
Their disregulated socialization was someone else's fault -- the best we can do is be kind within our own boundaries. (I'm thinking especially of your prior post re: fatigue.)
Also, I like what you're doing with the HOA leads. Now I am practically prancing to read your thoughts!
First, I am intrigued about the Corgi. My son had one and I have a soft spot for them. (Believe it or not they are cow herders and need a LOT of stimulation and exercise.) That dog loved me to pieces. Biscuits go a long way (even thrown to them at first) to calm the savage beast. I am the dog whisperer in Target Range. I have calmed many barking dog.
I am also waiting with "bated breath" for the HOA newsletter. Way to sell that thing , lady. Get some rest-at work this week - and let us know if the carport is going to get fixed.
Also, nice job beautifying your little spot on the north side of town.
