I hate to say,but I have a problem. Actually,I'm not sure what my problem is. But whatever it is,I need 1        

  It seems like I'm always doing favors for people,and I 2        have time for myself. I mean,I like people,and I want them to like me,but it's getting to be too much.

  You see,like this week,I'm taking care of Rex. It's a dog that 3       a woman in my office. How did I 4        up taking care of this dog? I don't even like dogs. It was in the office,and Sheila 5        that she was having trouble finding a dogsitter,and she said 6        she couldn't find a dogsitter,she couldn't go on vacation. And suddenly I said, "Oh,I can take care of the dog for you. No problem." 7       did I say that? I always seem to get into this kind of 8       .

  Just last week,a guy across the hall had a problem with his toilet. So he called me!And I don't even 9      this guy. He said that another neighbor said that I was really 10        fixing things,and that he was sure I would be willing to help him,so how could I say 11       ?So I fixed it,and I really didn't mind; it only took me about an hour.

  It's not only my 12        and people in my office. Like yesterday,my brother needed help to fix a broken window. I drove two hours to his house to help. It only took ten minutes to repair it,13       my whole day was shot. And Rex chewed up my sofa while I was gone. These kinds of things happen to me all the time.

  Oh,there's a 14      . That's probably Emily's. She's moving out this weekend,and I told her Fd help her 15      . I just couldn't say no. Oh,what am I going to do?
