I talk about a study with Psilocybin on mice brains proving that the brain can be rewired. I have long believed and in fact proven to myself that the human brain can be rewired without drugs if one has enough sincere motivation towards wanting to change as opposed to simply paying it lip service or wanting to take some sort of convenient effort-free shortcut.

2144 Real Retirement Begins
About a month after I retired from my job back on July 8, 2024, my elderly parents moved in with me while Mom recuperated from a compression fracture in her lower back. Now that she has made a rather remarkable recovery, I am soon to return them to their winter home in south Texas. When I get back, I&#8217;ll only be responsible for myself and my newly acquired dog Jake.

Retiring is often seen as a time to relax and enjoy newfound freedom, but for some, it can bring unexpected challenges. Imagine retiring only to find yourself, a month later, taking on the responsibility of caring for your elderly, infirm parents who have moved in with you. This sudden shift can be overwhelming, as your time and energy are now devoted to their medical appointments, daily care, and emotional support. <a class="tooltip-target" href="https://money.usnews.com/money/retirement/aging/articles/when-your-elderly-parents-move-in-with-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-citationid="d8ec3fa2-9144-90a5-c3b1-731f5227cb9b-2-group">The dreams of leisurely hobbies and travel may have to be put on hold, replaced by the demanding yet rewarding role of a</a> caregiver.
