Whoa mama that's a lot on your plate! Time for a bubble bath. Andy is very lucky to have you and I bet your parents are so pleased and proud of what a loving generous spirit their daughter has- make sure to give to yourself too though. Do you have respite support? It sounds like you are able to leave the house to do your parent errands but I am sure there is nothing relaxing about staying away longer to have a latte!
like you said, if only they were next door. I know your mind is on your loved ones and I am glad that you all have that beautiful relationship and cooperative caring
but spend some time really thinking of ways to support yourself too during this time of extra stress- what you can let go (time for the months scrub behind the fridge! Or maybe not) and see what you can outsource (got a local lawn mower?) and then dive into to those moments- if and when you find them- to snuggle up and watch a movie or read a book, to lounge in the bathtub with a glass of wine (my favorite indulgence lately), or whatever it is that leaves you feeling like you got a piece of yourself and your sanity back and like you can stay clam, level and strong ant keep going forward even through these hard times with a strong heart. My love and prayers go out to to you and your family. Big hugs.
