[quote=Anonymous]I have siblings who do what they can, but I'm the main one to visit my mom. She's about a 6-hour drive away for most of us, so any visit is at least a couple of days unless it's an emergency. She lives in an excellent CCRC and recently moved to an AL unit. In the past, I've tried to telework at least part time while I'm there, but I would come home feeling completely wiped out, so this time I tried to do almost none of that. For the five days I was up there, I answered urgent emails and commented on one document. Other than that, I hung out with her, went for walks alone, and went back to my hotel in time to unwind and get a good night's sleep. I still came home and wanted to sleep for days. Other trips don't do this to me. Just Mom. Anyone else? [/quote]
