Besides just missing my Master terribly all day long, I don't know how to cope with just life's demands. I know other people do it, but I don't know HOW they do it.
I'm working 8-4. I get up at 5 and try to sort out the house for a few minutes in between getting ready to go. I drop one kid off in the morning and I have the other kid doing the morning puppy care routine- letting out of kennels, playing with, feeding etc.
I pick the kid up again at 5 because she's got clubs and plays after school every day, without coming home first, and then make dinner and do the sheep/puppy/dog chores. By the time I get done with that and eating it's about 7:00. It's dark so I can't really do anything else outside. I can have a cup of tea and watch tv a bit. I go to bed at 9 so I can get up at 5 again.
Note: there's really no house cleaning or dish washing or sorting of mail and doing bills in that schedule. If I want to do that stuff I can start it at 7 pm when I'm all tired out and totally unwilling to do any of it.
Things I don't have time for anymore: writing, painting, walking, movies, friends, Pokemon.
Sounds like you are keeping busy. You and the family are in my thoughts. Sending huge (((hugs)))
