[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 409027, member: 77"] Susie, thanks for that input. Waking someone else up in the morning is not such a simple task, but only those who have lived with it for years can appreciate just how wearying it can become. Sounds like you had fun when you were young, waking up your brother -- with ice water! Ouch! I won't bother you with the details, but it is very nice not to be shouted at or sworn at first thing in the morning. This morning was the first time, and it was lovely not to have to get into that tension. DDD, I hear what you say. I can't say I am worried about it, but yes, slightly apprehensive. I'm sure we will work everything out. We are both out of the house a lot of the time, each one of us at our own work. Although he is officially retired and getting a pension, he is working at something completely different and enjoying it. The main thing for me is that during the days I am at home, he is out at work. That makes it all feasible. We will adjust. Several of our other kids pop in a lot during the week as well, so we will not be lonely! I know it sounds strange, but now he has gone, I feel I need the support of my board "family" more than before. I suppose because it is a time of adjustment. Thanks all, just for being there. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
