Yesterday an unexpected person I know called around.*
The regular community magazine deliver had a problem. I'd replied what sort of problem? The person explained that her daughter and 4 grandchildren are coming to stay with them (short notice); asked me if I could deliver the 10 community magazines on Friday. I said yes as did it several times.
Also got a food delivery coming between 1pm and 2pm. I usually help a family member to sort it out. Have to work around the problem.
Yesterday I thought needed cloning by one to deliver the community magazines and one to help with the community magazine. Lol.
*Ages ago I was out and wasn't back until late. Family member said that my friend missed her train, decided to pop round to see if I was in and thought I was out for the day. Thats the problem with people moving back to my area (they think your available 24/7);
Families and Boundaries don't go together. Though, thankfully, my relatives don't pester me; much. If I need them, I'll make the contact.
Good that you're being of service. I've learned that simply trying to 'Find Work' no longer cuts the Mustard. The focus is to do things which satisfy you, rather than keep on the Hamster wheel. Like whenever I sort out a friend, who's an Artist, for his medication; and appointments.
