trying to find some me time
I am kind of a morning person, If i don't get up and have something to do I basically lose all motivation. My daughter s normal sleep cycle is 3 am to midday. ( Delayed sleep cycle syndrome)
I cant do much of a morning, its like if you neighbour decided to mow bewteen 4 and 5am.
I take the labrador for a walk, she barks when she is bored or under exercised.
I cant do washing, Laundry is at daughters bedroom door.
I cant do any yard work cos our 16yo maltese X either barks if left inside. or if he comes outside he barks to get back inside ( imagine the cycle if I let him back inside). If i want to work on the front yard he cant come with me cos he barks on a lead, or barks at the back gate, or front door. Its doing my head in not being able to do the things that relax me. and once my daughters up , all my plans go out the window. π€¦ββοΈ ergh so frustrating.

Re: trying to find some me time
@mumto2 That sounds really frustrating. Iβm a morning person also, and understand the motivation loss later, or when it doesnβt kick in at all.
do you know the thread Daily goals, motivation and check in ? I donβt know if it would help, but sometimes, we help each other get there, or remind each other, thereβs alway tomorrow.
Sorry Iβm not much help, but certainly understand.ππ

Re: trying to find some me time
could you maybe do some quiet things like colouring in, watching a fave movie/tv show on the computer that way you can put headphones in? reading a book? having a cup of tea and a biscuit? colouring in or some puzzles?

Re: trying to find some me time
@ Outlander. Thanks for suggesting a few quiet things, I do do some of tese things, I managed to sneak out and get some gardening done in the afternoon when dog was sleeping and daughter went back to bed after not sleeping well. I feel better having being able to complete a couple of jobs.
