make the bed at bedtime

I was pregnant and plagued with morning sickness, and working a demanding full time job. I had absolutely no energy in the morning. My husband left the house a half an hour before I did, and came home at least an hour after my arrival home. I made the bed about fifteen minutes before his estimated arrival time. If he was studying late, that could be as late as midnight, in which case I would crawl into my unmade bed (you mess up a well made bed to sleep in it anyway) just after setting his bed. There was nobody at home to enjoy set beds during the day anyway!
