I am reaching them. Slowly. Learning to be patient with a parent with dementia is my big challenge right now.

For me academic, professional and financial goals have always been easy but personal goals are hard. Really hard. I have said this before, but I am trying to learn to be more patient with a parent with dementia. They just received a notice from the government that their drivers licence is suspended which led to rage. Shit went down. But I think I handled it better than my nature would usually permit.

I have literally made zero money the last 3 weeks but that is OK as I am focusing on getting my parent into a better space and have been for a long time but it hasn't worked yet. I hope I am mid-point at getting acceptance but who knows. I don't even know where the finish line is which makes it hard.
