In honor of my having missed the deadline for my Library Reference Final...

In honor of my having missed the deadline for my Library Reference Final (I actually forgot I had it) ...I'm entitling this post, "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."  This is the first semester I've taken this many classes at once in over 30 years.  Back then, the brain cells were a little more able to handle school, family, and volunteering.  Now, not so much.  I've learned that I have to really, REALLY practice my "NO" skills.  No, I can't help with lighting the luminaries in nearly a thousand bags at the church, I have a test.  No, I can't babysit the grands, I have a test.  No, I can't decorate the church's Christmas tree today.  I have a test.  I can do it next week, though.  You're busy, and can't help afterall, but it needs to get done today?  Oh, sorry.  I understand that your needs trump mine, but...well... I have a test.  See, that wasn't so hard now, was it?  Yeah.  Right.
