I'm so sorry you're going through this! You should stay in bed and get a good long sleep. Glad your brother will attend to the Christmas tree and help your dad calm down.

I remember how it was with my mom, she lived on the 5th floor and sometimes she would decide that the windows should be cleaned - NOW! She was in her 70ties, so I was worried what could happen and rushed out there to do it for her.

Also sorry about the kitty situation, I can imagine how difficult it is..

Hope everything works out and you get better soon.

(((hugs)))
