Help I feel so bad rn. Basically I've been out of town for like a week and got back last week but I was so emotionally exhausted from my trip I didn't visit or call my bubby (grandmother). And so far this week I was busy with my new job yesterday and today I had a really bad headache and was tired I just went home and she called me just now (at 10pm) and I thought "I really don't want to deal with whatever it is she needs from me right now I just want to relax and go to bed" so I declined the call and when I opened the voicemail she just said "I just wanted to check in and see if you wanted to come paint with me" and damn because I forgot how lonely she gets and that I'm really her most consistent in life person she sees.
And its like, I know its valid of me to need the break and I know when I call her I end up pushing myself to visit or help out with whatever it is she needs and that it makes me less likely to have to full capacity of patience I need to be around her for prolonged periods of time. But I still feel bad. Especially because I know that I can't go over tomorrow either since I'm working at my new job that day. Feb 11, 2026

Try not to beat yourself up too much (I know, easier said than done), but yeah, make time for her when you can.
You two are very blessed to have each other
