May 19, 2020 - 249 - "Overwhelmed, Overtired and Under-Funny"

Parents

The good news:  I still have both of my parents.

The bad news:  

  They're both having health issues at the same time.
  I'm the only one near enough to help.  
  There's a lot of pandemic weirdness right now.
  I am very, very, very, tired.  

   It's 6:02 p.m. and I haven't worked out.  I want to change out of the workout clothes I just put on, put on my pajamas, and crawl into bed.  

  It's not easy to help someone who resents needing help.

  I can't figure out how to get into the Personal Apple Session I set up for Dad.
  
  This isn't funny.
  
  I didn't have any funny thoughts to share yesterday.

  It's very doubtful that tomorrow's post will be funny either.

  Did I mention I am very, very, very tired?
