| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | I am overwhelmed with caregiving for a 97 year old family member.

However, I work hard from 2 or 3 in the afternoon until 10 or 11 pm. I manage the best I can if I have to be up in the early am but my brain just is not alert at that time. |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | I spent 6 hours going through big shopping bags of belongings from my elderly aunt's house that she just decided to sell.
