I don't expect anything in return for helping someone and any little extras that come my way in life are because what goes around comes around. I will pretty much leave it at that. I should add, that by being her neighbor and helping her maybe you could establish a friendship to where you can openly talk with her about her cleaning lady and getting someone that can be more dependable for this lady. That too would be a huge help! |
That is one of the reason I don't want to say no more, because I know that what goes around comes around. THat is why i put myself in her shoes. I started helping her as a favor, but it has escalated to one in a while to more than twice kinda thing.
I'm the only neighbor she knows. The other next door neighbors just moved a few months ago. My other next door neighbor doesn't talk to her because she was rude to her many times before she became disable. Other neighbors don't even know how she looks like. She doesn't go out at all. She can't walk anymore.
I talked to her before about her cleaning lady and she is aware of the things that the cleaning lady does like getting sick or nor answering her phone when she calls her, but she told me that she feels kinda stuck with her because she has work for her for quite a while now,(before her husband left her) and she feels vulnerable to bring somebody new to help her out in the house.
Judy, I don't know much of her medical situation, all I know is that she has to have a knee replacement, but she is diabetic and overweight and the doctor told her she needs to loose weight if she wants to get her knee replacement, but she doesn't want to loose weight nor have surgery. That is what her still husband told my husband and me.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just going to help her and forget about how tired i am is not an everyday thing anyways, although it's become more frequent. But when I've had rough days at work and I'm exhausted... i really don't feel like doing it.
