You have a lot on your plate. I'm sorry about your accident. I have had some close calls where I zoned out and had to slam on my brakes and was left with my heart pounding for an hour.

I think you should definitely get away when you get the chance. Even if you can do "daycations" on a Saturday where you go explore your city, see a museum and spend hours in a restaurant with a cup of coffee. I'm sure even driving to a cheap hotel for the night would help you let go of a little bit of your stress.

Hang in there. You're awesome for caring for your mom at home.
