2025: One battle after another...

2025 was some bullshit, so glad it's over.

I always say that I have more work to do outside of work than I do at work. My dad passed away on December 11th. I'm less bothered by him being gone than I am by the amount of work needed to do since he passed, a lot of it being due to my mom having dementia. My "outside work" workload has effectively doubled from what it normally is, and has added more chaos to my already clouded brain. The work in the smallest nutshell I can put it in is:

1. Making sure mom is taken care of, which involves making sure she has money coming in every month, and making sure her health is squared away.
2. Moving back to mom's house, which involves clearing out one or more rooms to make room for some of my stuff, and packing stuff from my apartment to go there. There's also the matter of moving the cats from the apartment to the house. All of my cats want to be the only cat, and transitioning them from the apartment to the house will be a tremendous pain in the ass.

Trust me, that's more work than I made it sound like, especially for someone with a bad case of executive dysfunction. I also have to take care of myself.
