Feel Like a Burden

Hey everyone

So here’s some back story for this post

I haven’t seen my cousin who is basically my twin sister in about a year and a half. I finally have the opportunity to go visit her for a few days, 2 to be exact. She lives across the country from me so I will be flying, and to make the trip worth the expense, I needed to take a day off of work

So I asked one of my coworkers if she could cover me for that day, and then the next week I would cover her on whatever day she wants

I feel so freaking bad about asking for that. I feel like I ruined her whole night and the rest of the year. I know that is probably unrealistic but I just feel like such a burden on people when I ask them for a favor

And me and that coworker switch shifts and cover each other all the time but this time I just have this huge wave of guilt passing over me

Does anyone know what I mean or have any tips?

Edit: She agreed and I’m going on the trip to see my cousin but I feel like she only said yes to be nice
