Yeah, and even if I wasn’t injured, I’d hope that she would recognize how I’m usually pretty overwhelmed between work and school.

It isn’t normally an issue. She can be stubborn and she has a little bit of a “too much” gene when she gets interested in something, but she’s usually pretty good about being empathetic to how I’m feeling or what I have going on. Like I said, outside of this, we really do have an excellent relationship.

I’ve thought about getting her a project car, but at the moment, space is an issue. We have a single car garage and two spaces in our driveway, but we already have three vehicles. One of the cars is actually my first vehicle from when I was a teenager, and I’ve considered getting rid of it to free up some space.

The thing is, if I do that, I’m afraid of her taking on an even bigger project and trying to rope me into it even more. If she didn’t try to force me to participate outside of occasionally lending a hand, I wouldn’t mind at all, but the way things have been makes me inclined to believe that it would somehow become my project too.
