Question Using future, but I am also doing the action now?

Hi all,

We recently learned about the future tense and it seems straight forward enough but what if I want to say I will do something (in the future), but I am also doing it now?

For example:

Tendré cuidado hasta que el ejército se vaya de la ciudad.
I will be careful until the army leaves the city.

In the spanish sentence I wrote it sounds like I will have caution in the future, but I'm trying to communicate that I am being careful now and will continue to be careful until the army leaves.

Any ideas?

Gracias.
