What Will Today Bring?

We just never know what difference a day can make.

Sometimes I feel excited with the possibilities when I have a day that seems open but today I feel a bit apprehensive.

Evelyn usually is on my list for Thursdays. But things between her and I have changed in the last couple weeks. Back when she took that fall at Macys and had me over to help�the next day which ended up�taking up most of my day, she told me that she'd feel better about "using" so much of my time if she were paying me.�She's tried, in the past, to�offer me money for comeing to see her but I've refused�because of the nature of our relationship. However, in recent months she seems so much more incapable and is requiring more assistance than ever, she says she wants me to be the one she calls when she needs someone. In that conversation when she told me that she wanted me to start accepting money for my time with her I had to agree but haven't felt good about it since. I think mostly that I don't want her to abuse me the way it sounds like she abuses other people that "help" her for money. She's always got a tale of the incompitence of this one or that one that came to her house and how she tells them off. Yikes, I really don't want to be one of those, I think that would bring a sudden end to our friendship and I know I'd feel bad about that.

So, this morning I'm wondering if she's going to call, and how it'll turn out.

She's such a tough old bird and I'm such a softie.
