Thanks for sharing the article Rohag. I think in some ways I do some of those techniques, but some are new.

Leed, I also tried to take your advice and "got away" - I took my kindle and just went to bed early to relax without listening to them talking or the tv onion the background. It was good, and I slept great that night. On Sunday, I got outside and did a few hours of gardening, which was also therapeutic.

Then, when I get back home I always feel so guilty that I don't appreciate them more. I feel guilty for wishing the weekend away and for me to be back alone in my apartment and way from them. They are wonderful people and I often feel like I don't deserve them.
