It's a hard thing when all these people and events make demands on our time and mental bandwidth. Only you have the power to step back and think of you.

Well said, @negativer. People will take everything you give them until you're used up and gone; then they'll have all moved on to the next giver. "For the fifth time, my tea has gone cold" sounds like me every day, but I have ADHD to blame, not just cat, dogs, offspring, laundry, dishes, phones, etc.
