The Errand Guy

I've been feeling a bit sick throughout today. It's starting to get bad as I now do everything a lot more slowly now, compared to my usual time, or I just don't do it at all.

A friend of mine had helped me turn on my generator today because I needed to charge my phone, and usually, he would help me take the generator back inside after I'm done charging but then he had an emergency call and had to travel to go see his sister, leaving a sick me here all by myself.

Now that usually wouldn't be an issue because like I said, I could do some of the little things myself, it's just going to take longer than usual, but going downstairs to turn off my generator and bring it inside isn't something I considere a little thing. So I had laid in bed, pondering on who to call to come help me.

And after about thirty minutes of hard thinking, I settled on a name, the same name that came to mind the very first minute I started thinking about this whole thing but tried to ignore it. And I know you guys night be wondering why, well it's because I've come to find out that this particular guy would never tell you no when you send him on errands.

He's one of this guys who I feel are so humble to a fault and would always go on errands for people, out of respect. I've watched him do it countless times and that has made me to like him so much that whenever I have something to give, he's always the first person that comes to mind.

But then again, even at that, the fact that he would never say no to me or anyone else has made it a lot difficult for me to really send him on errands because I don't want to feel like I'm abusing the privilege or taking his kindness for granted.

And that is why I always make sure that before I send him anywhere, I've exhausted all of my options and can't do that thing myself, just like today. So I had picked up my phone and pleaded with him to help me bring in the generator which he immediately agreed to without any objections.

And now that that is settled, I'm laying on my bed, thinking of how to get up to go buy some drugs and I plan on doing that all by myself.
