Suela, are you the only one of your siblings who's managing their care and support? If so, (a) that truly sucks, and (b) I think your opinion about what should be done should trump everyone else's.
Yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So agree with you, Kate. I hope your sibs get that, Consuela. Also, what Amy said.

JFC, my issues with my boss are totally crystallizing today. Tell me if you want me to do something! Don't just tell me about it! "[Big boss] says we should just run with this." Does that mean I should take care of it myself or not?? Do I need to figure out the answers or come back to you on it?? I don't know!! Oy.

My sister is helping, and we are getting some financial and emotional support from the others. I'm the one managing the personal care, though, with the agency. Which hopefully won't be so difficult once we settle back down into a regular schedule (the last cook quit without notice).

First world problem. I have to defrost my mahi-mahi before I can cook it for lunch. And I have another call in 30 minutes. Crappity.
I did make some cucumber/yogurt last night so I have a bowl of that to tide me over.
Just told CJ that Grandpa isn't coming and his response was "I haz a sad". Which made me smile along with having my own sad.

Ugh Suela, I know how much it sucks trying to find a good place. But in the end it will be worth the stress of looking and finding one.

Kate, I never said YIKES about the roof, or the good news about getting it fixed. Yay!
Thanks!
And when it comes to a couple days of solo parenting, give yourself permission to do whatever feels easiest, seriously.
Yeah, this is my plan. Also, trying to find a few people to come hang out with me over the weekend.
My sister is helping, and we are getting some financial and emotional support from the others. I'm the one managing the personal care, though, with the agency.
I'm glad they're helping, though it still sounds like you're carrying a disproportionate amount of the burden. Anyway, I hope you all can work together to find a good placement for your parents.
