House Still A Disaster - One Year Later - Feb 2018


For whatever reason Tracy can't pick up after herself.  She had this trait, not as bad, 10+ years ago when we first met.

It seems to more broad then picking up - it seems to be any activity that is tedious, boring, stressful - then it's avoided (taxes, bills, organizing, paperwork, etc).  No matter what the outcome the behaviour has to her, her future, and to her family.


She's developed a sophisticated response system of one liners, deferring, deflecting, topic jumping, and also just lying (misleading statements) to just move on from any discussions or actions relating to the behaviour.

I've been dealing with this to some degree since I've know her.

Office still pretty much the same


The bathroom was cleaned up.  Scott was coming for a tour so Tracy cleaned up her mess - I scrubbed and vacuumed the entire bathroom (except shower stall).



Dining room still being used a storage area - 5+ weeks after my requests.  It's frustrating because I've  cleaned up the dining room prior to this.  Once after I remodeled it to showcase my work (new chair moulding, paint, etc) and then after Xmas I cleaned up the bulk of what I could.


Bedroom still pretty much the same.  No sheets or cases on the bed since we've moved in - over a year ago.  And a mess.

Another Missed Play Session at Cornerstone

Day before yesterday, same deal as usual.   Thought it was at 10.30am. Started getting Ella ready.  I gave her a bath, fed her food. Then discovered it was at 11.30. Tracy starts getting ready (doing something).   By 12.30pm no one ready to go so Tracy says.....I'll do this tomorrow. To date, Tracy has never been able (on her own) to take Ella to a Play Session. Today was another try, but Ella fell asleep. Next try is tomorrow at 6.30pm.

Kiev Trip Aug 2018

Unable to prep or pack for our trip. I spent three days prepping so there were no issues. We both agreed to be packed one full day in advance. As usual, Tracy was a crazy maniac, hyper, emotional. ranting, and then sleeping on an off......all the way until  the morning we had to leave for the flight. I stayed up late, getting everything I could packed for Ella (assuming Tracy may not be coming). On the trip - Tracy was in Bed in some depressed mood about 20% of the time. She also drank large amounts of vodka - maybe 1/2 gallon. She drank it, then would go to the store and buy more.  I finally said...what's in your backpack....? and sure enough she bought vodka and kept it in her bag. Who knows how much she drank.
