I said No today

It is hard for me, but I said NO. NO I will not come over after work to clean out the garage.

I have ducked my father for 3 days because he keeps hinting. I dodged him enough that I think "Operation make Aerows work like a dog cleaning out the garage while I wave my cane and supervise" came to a hault.

The magic word was "No". Not tonight, not tomorrow night.

I know how hard that is too. Just keep saying no and it gets easier. It takes practice!
