Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm quite involved in taking care of my elderly parents, mostly my father. Mom is still a spitfire but is nearing 80. My father broke his hip last week, just fell getting up out of his chair. Surgery was successful and today we move him to rehab. I don't see him recovering to a point where he can go home. It's a lot of navigating his health care, insurance, finances, and my mother's emotional load around it all. We will need to sell their house no matter what. She can't keep up with it alone and he can't get around in it anymore. My full time job is at a high with multiple stresses. And it's hot AF.

On the upside, over the winter, I signed up for an adult rowing team and that starts tonight. I'm committed to keeping that self care piece - 4 hours a week. The class tonight is on land teaching the team how to carry boats and other instructions. Then on Thursday evening we hit the river. I'm really looking forward to that.
