Well for instance, she wants me to keep her dog (she pays food and meds) because she couldn't find a place that will accept an 80lb pitbull mix. I agreed as long as she agreed to house sit while I was out of town with the kids (I have chickens, cats, dogs, rabbit....and I'm adding goats and meat rabbits in a few months.)
I worry that after a while, I will become overly hopeful that she would come back and end up agreeing to things that would set me back in my self-improvement goals.
