The social worker will set up an appointment for tomorrow. My sister, brother, mom and I will all be there. Mom kept trying to get me to agree last night to help her care for my brother. Realistically the care would fall to me. I hated saying no but I had to to protect my own health. Hopefully the social worker will have some good options that everyone can live with.

I wish everyone a peaceful day
I hope you don't mind me writing this, but you did great standing up for yourself! You surely made the right move.

Your first paragraph was lovely and soothing to read. Thanks for that. Despite feeling unwell all day my husband and I went for a walk down a trail we hadn't known about before. Appropriately, it was called (translation to English), "The trail of good health." It was, indeed, lovely and peaceful with very few people. It was mostly a trail next to multiple fish ponds and a burbling brook, with various wildflowers blooming and other appealing sites. It was a short walk, but that's all I was up for. We could hear the local passenger trains passing by, occasionally. I told my husband that it was multiple settings of my sound machine on at once. I wish my actual sound machine could do as well.
