I join my prayers for you and your family. It's never easy to move, I know, I had to leave my home of 33 years and move to an apt., can't keep the house when all you have is SS and the savings and 401K are gone trying to pay medical bills. We did move 3 miles from my son, his wife and 1 year old granddaughter Zoe, so that is a plus. Like the saying goes, when life gives you scraps - make quilts. My husband used to tell me to go quilt when I got cranky, and it worked most of the time. I'm just not happy unless I'm quilting, although my arthritis is slowing me down a little. A few years back I would get up, get dressed for work, sew for a half hour or so, go to work, come home, make dinner and sew some more - I was in quilter's heaven and the church fair had a lot of quilted projects to sell. I've been able to quilt a lot more since Jan and I got my sewing spot set up in my bedroom. Even when I have to clear my bed before I can go to sleep, it's worth it. Hang in there, things will get better.

Prayers for your father's safe recovery. We all have our form of therapy when things get a bit frazzled. Mine is raking leaves....yep, what a weird therapy but I find I can take out my frustrations on those leaves. LOL
