Staggering

My brother and I appear to make a good team working together (something we haven't really done since childhood). He has been jumping into the big stuff that involves a lot of muscle and strength, and I have been doing some of the "detail orientied" organizational tasks as well as the mundane work to keep the household running — cooking meals, washing dishes, doing the laundry, and so forth.

There is so much work to do at my parents' house that it is staggering, even after all that has already been done — house cleaning, clearing clutter, backload of laundry, yard work, repairs, and so forth.

I can't help but wonder if this same thing is going to happen to me, that once-easy household chores begin to pile up before I realize that I can't continue handling it on my own. My husband says it happened in his family, and others have reported the same in their families. That thought makes "getting older" suck even more than it already did.
