Ah I hate a case of the gloomies! That sucks man, hopefully they fixed the mold issues once and for all!
I hear you with the parents stuff. My parents are getting up there as well, and I can tell from talking to my dad when I get to. He slowed down on his side hustle work, even though they need and like the money. He couldn't do it anymore, and in a weird way it's also because I wasn't there to help him which he understands and gets, but it just makes you feel a little bad, you know?
I think taking time off of work is important, because if we are working all the time then we will just get burned out which is also not good. As difficult as it is to take it off with deadlines and things piling up, the good thing is that I think it proves to the team and management that we can't be walked all over. We do have obligations you know! Yes it gets quite the juggle with kids :D

Thanks for taking time to pen this. Really appreciate this.
I just opened a post and wrote whatever I felt yesterday, and then call it a night and went to sleep. Slept for 9 hours straight.
Yeah I think as we grow older, we just have more responsibilities and obligations, and at times it's challenging to juggle so many balls at once, especially if they bunch up at the wrong timing. But of course, we will and have to manage in our own ways.
Sorry to hear about the situation with your parents too. I think we try our best to balance our commitments and I am sure you are doing your best to set aside time for them too. :)
