It has been a much better week.

I closed my last mini-vacation week by getting my father settled in short-term rehab and he is doing gradually better. This allowed both my mother and I to each practice our own weekends of self-care. With the national events that were happening in our region over the weekend, I have came to the conclusion that the general news has become too oversensationalized and I must take a step away from it. That has led me into getting back into reading and actually watching a movie on Prime Video in its entirity, whch is a big win in of itself.I have also been working more on establishing friends, coping tools and ways to care for myself as I resumed my normal routine this week which was abrupt with more sudden changes that thankfully, I am handling quite well.
