ETEO Snapshots

We are watching a movie and it's after 9.00pm.  Tracy decides to take Ella up to bed.  It's been a rough day - Tracy's been in one her funks all day (see previous post). Tracy grabs Ella goes up the stairs.  We hear a scream and Sharron and I watches as Tracy tubles down the stairs (at high speed) with Ella in her arms. Amazingly, Ella wasn't hurt.  Tracy had some bruises. It didn't surprise me that it happened. This is how far she fell / rolled down with Ella.

Sharron arrived on the 25th and by the next morning she couldn't take Tracy's cranky (bitchy) attitude and said she wanted to be taken home ASAP. It wasn't pleasant - fighting and bitching - about nothing.  Like two kids.

Xmas 🎄 tree and decorations in house completed after two weeks. House disaster. Allyson chat. Tracy not delivering so does not want to ruin friendship so not asking. Said she had around 10k for manual but returned to client since Tracy never delivered. The significance is that Tracy and I bought the house because she said she could contribute financially.  I didn't want to buy the house - unless we could handle it financially and the effort to clean/remodel/maintain.  To this day she say's she's getting work.  She's been lying to me. 3 nites ago, another lie about diaper change. Good news, house see as cleaned up. Tracy put items in cabs and I cleaned everything. Floor, windows mirrors toilet carpet sinks, countertop. Xmas lights not complete outside. Tracy was unable to do any exterior decorations - which is what she wanted..  Made bread. Getting ready for xmas eve at wayne and Jeanie was painful. Tracy made bread and put some of the dishes away in kitc...

On Saturday,  I finished the final piece of the top since it was so close and I wanted it done. The tree assembly started on Sunday, almost a week prior.  It was the only task Tracy had for the entire week - except going to Target to buy Ella a stocking.

This morning, Tracy slept until Wayno showed up.  She went into the spare bedroom and wanted Ella.  About an hour into it Ella fell off the bed - thump.  I was cleaning/caulking the upstairs windows. This is now the third known fall of Ella while under Tracy's care.

Still not unpacked from OBX trip, we returned home night of Nov 29th.  Half items still in the garage. Bedroom, office still not unpacked organized from our move-in almost a year ago.

This morning Tracy got up and was pretty normal. Then as the day went on by 11 she became groggy said she was up since 4 and her only goal today was to finish up the last two sections of the Christmas tree as the day went on she took a couple naps not a single light on the Christmas tree was done by I believe around 4 she took more naps on the couch Christmas tree still wasn't done by 7 around 6 she came upstairs brought up most of the day and she fell asleep on the bed at 6 today

On Tuesday, went to the liquor store (20% of wine special) and bought 2 boxes of 5L wine and a 1.5L of white wine. That evening I opened the box wine and drank 2 glasses of wine (I'm reducing my alcohol, so I monitor what I drink). The box was left on the counter. The next morning I pick up the box to put away and it's way lighter. So I decide to weigh it and compare it to the new box (remember I bought two). I weighed each a half a dozen times and here's what I found. I weigh 173.4.  With the full box I was 185.0.   With the box that was just opened 180.8. So a full box is (185-173.4) 11.6 lbs.  The just opened box was 7.4 lbs.  4.2 lbs of wine was drunk. 4.2 lbs is 1.91kg.  There's .75kg of wine per bottle (roughly) so 2.54 bottles of wine we drunk in a single nite.  I had two small glasses the night before - so over 2 bottles were drunk in an evening. ................ When I asked Tracy, she said she drank some w...
