I'm in favor of "guilty" pleasures, but without the guilt. Taking care of one's self is crucial if you're to be an effective caregiver. Burnout is real and no one else is going to take better care of our loved ones than us. So take care of yourself, too. Without guilt.

@wctdoc1943

Thanks @wctdoc1943. I still feel guilty about drinking alcohol, having read about all of its harmful effects to our mind and bodies. I also feel guilty about posting because it diverts my attention away from George.

Thanks everyone else, for your input. I will keep trying to be a better caregiver like all of you so that I will be conscience-free to enjoy my guilty pleasures.
