@sallysue Thanks for sharing a little of your story. It sounds as if you have developed a plan that gives you some time for yourself. I'm sure that others can learn from your experience.
My sister sleeps in later than I do. So I get up early (I'm a morning person) and do my workout, shower, use the hot tub, fix my breakfast and then take it in my room to eat. It is my time. Then when I refill my coffee or take my dishes out to the kitchen etc I just naturally check on her without having to ask her or prompt her. We are together the rest of the day and evening except for a short rest time after lunch. It works for me. Also we can still leave her home alone for short periods without hurting her feelings and so my husband and I frequently go out for Sat. breakfast .
