Je fais le lit après que tu t'es levé

Je fais le lit après que tu t'es levé. I'm making the bed after you've got [US: gotten] up.

I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?" Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?

This question relates to:French lesson "Après que + indicative (L'Indicatif) = After + conjugated verb in French"
