We biked the Hiawatha Trail on Saturday, then yesterday spent the afternoon meeting with our family, siblings and parents.
High one day and then a high/low day the next.
The trail is like a super classic PNW sort of thing to do.
Meeting with our parents feels less so, like people aren't dealing well with aging parents. I know I'm struggling.
I was wiped when we were done. I drank a considerable amount of wine and watched videos. I know the meeting was overall well-received, but it did bring back some flashbacks from trying to meet with Dad over stuff. My step-dad said some wild stuff and just isn't aware of my Mom's needs at all. He never refers to her when he talks; she's just sort of there. I know he cares about her and shows that in other ways. Just have to keep remembering it's not my marriage.
Lots of helping people the past week and less on myself. Happens sometimes.
