Our local Senior Citizens group serves meals every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We deliver these meals or they may be ordered and picked up. Many persons also dine in. We have a group that we call early those three days to find out if they want a meal. Our primary caller Mary fell and broke her femur. I was ask to fill in calling while she recovered. Of course I agreed to help. Now Mary has returned and the other two callers have insisted that I fill in for them on a regular basis. I don't want to ...I don't want to ...I don't want to ...But I will.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Do what is right for you. Which may include saying no.
ReplyDeleteDoes she come back and you fill in just when the other two are absent or are you taking the girl's place? Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI learned a long time ago the word NO. If you truly don't want to, tell them.
ReplyDeleteNo good deed goes unpunished!
ReplyDeleteBe strong - but weak when you feel it’s necessary
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to, so let them know it can't be a regular "count on me" thing. Let them know you can do it only in case of emergency. Femurs are the toughest bones in the body, that must have been a bad fall!
ReplyDeleteThere is reason for the word "No"
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Some very good advice above...
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult when it's for a good cause. I hope you can work this out in the way that is best for everyone.
