We do that because we don't know any other way! We see things that need doing and if we have the energy to do them even tho we know we will pay we do it. Simple? Not really but that is the way I am.
And ask for help?? Heaven forbid, they might find out we have MS!! And are weaklings.
Frank, I will be doing way too much today, getting ready to go camping tomorrow. But it will be worth it in the long run.
