End of a Week

Big family meeting with a CPA I know to help Mom w/ her finances. I don't feel ideal physically, but still went and was doing pretty well. I prayed and went on a walk, meditated, had the sense that alot of this is what I make of it. 

Yeah, no. 

I can imagine worse but it's not a good situation. 

I came home and just detached. I realized this could take me down for the next several years. They're slowly dying and trying the best they can to live in the process of their aging. I'm here to help, but it's painful to watch. It's painful to try and exist in it. 

I watched some comedy, napped, ate with Jay. I don't feel great. But it felt great to get some perspective on how to go through this going forward and not hopefully have this spin me out every time.
