Wedding!!!

Posted on by queentracey1

I’m not tearing out my hair. I’m not running on an empty bank account. I’m not going big and fancy.

I am making all my decorations myself. I am getting my dress for under 100.! Hopefully with no needed alterations. I am buying a 10 x 30 tent and we have a very large white tarp we are adding to it. I am using my back yard , we are making tables and putting white sheets over them. I have royal blue as my color and the October colors will lend a hand, I hope.

I still need to figure out, photos, video, flowers, chairs and my hubby needs his suit. I still need to decide on, a reception – appetizers, deserts, Snax kinda thing? Ask guests to bring things? Would that be weird? Then we need plates, drink ware and a cake. I want a cake but how to do that and not have to do all of the other stuff?

Pre-med!!

Posted on by queentracey1

Never will I be ready to watch you leave. The day you arrived was the day my life truly began. Never could I have imagined my boy would grow to such a wonderful young man, never because I doubted you but in doubt of myself. I am so proud of my son. At 19 he has the next 12 years planned out. God willing they will go as such, I loved having him home with us for the 4th and as usual breaks my heart when he leaves. My son, pre-med. 

Time flies


Moving time is here. My poor man is exhausted. It’s been a push everyday to get it all done. We ended up having to hire a couple guys to move all the big stuff into the uhaul but my son and my fiance had to unload themselves. 

I haven’t been posting much as I been running and moving but things will get back on track after this weekend and I will post more and more pictures from the renovation and more about, well, everything!!  Having a wedding in October, wow! Need to do that stuff. Assassin’s. Lol. See u soon.

So tired of being tired

Posted on by queentracey1

Hi, I haven’t posted in a bit with all the choas going on at the moment but here’s an update. 

We are still in the apartment until school gets out June 16. I couldn’t see moving my son with only one month left to a new school. 

The house, we took out a wall, have refinished 4 floors so far, layed down 2 more, replaced some electrical wiring that was so old it was crumbly. Took out panelling all over the place, changed out lights and put up ceiling fans, cleaned up a garden that was started in front of the house, tore out wallpaper,  and a lot of clean up. During this whole process packing and sorting through a 3 bedroom apt with full basement and 8 years of junk. 

During this whole process my soon to be has worked his reg full time job of about 60 hours plus has a side job installing decks and some windows and has been the only muscle to move me. My son being 14 and lazy only helps when necessary and I’m not allowed to do much lifting, carrying, moving , climbing, etc. Etc. 

I feel so bad all the time because even if he let me I know I still don’t get as much done on a day as a normal healthy person does. My sleep is awful, I don’t get even a quarter of the REM sleep needed for anyone never mind me. I’m always fighting a cold or pain or something that were me down even more. It’s been about 20 years since I was diagnosed with Addisons and my health has just gone down hill from there but I don’t even remember normal anymore. I’m always tired and it’s so frustrating esp when I have so much to do. I take extra vit c and was just put on a vit d regimen but, I’m still tired.

Lifeline for bipolar friend, broken??

Posted on by queentracey1

Some of you may remember awhile ago I talked about my friend with bipolar and her bad spell. She hadn’t fully recovered from that when we were all struck by the sudden death of her baby daddy. They had been split for a little while now but proved his love when she went manic in making sure things that needed to be done along with me, got done. He always looked out for her and even then I saw a new side to him. Now she’s trying to get back up and was seeming to do great when she unexpectedly got fired from her job as a cna. She worked so hard getting totally off social security and providing for her and her boys all by herself. She had never even had a job , she had always been on ss and I for one was right by her side the whole way.

 She had not one complaint, not one warning or bad Mark anywhere in her work file, was the one cna that everyone loved and wanted to work with because she did the job and she did it good. She said that there was some paperwork that they didn’t get in, whether it was from the Dr or something she was supposed to fill out I’m not sure but just like that, done. We figure since the place was owned by maine general, and the people who treat her and help in monitoring her, all work for maine general. She said she’s to much of a liability, she could go manic at any time. Usually she catches it and gets help but this time it was from being to happy, not to sad. The disability advocates place can not help because they to, are maine general.

She worked for about a year, and in one second it was gone and I’m not sure how to help her. I have suggested a smaller business or maybe go a different way and do home help or something but not to just quit. She has given up. She is going down fast and I don’t know what to do. I am always the one her and a few others come to for advice or insight, but, this is the first time I don’t know what to say….

Daily Prompts and updates

Posted on by queentracey1

Every now and then I do a daily prompt, not because I have nothing to write about or because I have run out of great blog posts to share but I think as a challenge to myself. So, today’s is pause.

Pause is my life at this time! I feel as if someone has pushed the pause button on me. We have bought a house and started work but now my man is out of town , well state, for work for 4 days which of course is on the weekend , which is mostly the only time to get any work done. He works ten hour days so after eating and things at night after work he only has a couple hours. 

My whole, Back, forward and back again, thing that I was doing of course was hit by a wall when cleaning , organizing and downsizing became packing to move. The idea is still there, the hallway space I used to put things in to get rid of has increased again but I still have gotten rid of, 8 large black garbage bags, 3 or 4 regular size kitchen garbage bags, 5 or so 18 gall totes, and a few boxes worth of stuff. My man brought a box of contractors garbage bags which are, Idk, huge, he started to just fill them up with stuff from the basement that either wasn’t mine or was trash. Had about 6 or 8 of them. So, on that subject I am still a work in progress but the point is that it is still happening. Things that I don’t want to throw away r put into two piles, donation and yard sales. The new house has huge yard sale space and is on a main road so we have decided on that happening and once I have all of the stuff we r taking out I will move all the selling into the living room and open the door for an indoor yard sale! 

The end of school is June 16. Now I’m thinking about what to do with that. My son has stayed back once from 7 grade and he’s in danger of it again became doesn’t do his work. Now he’s busting butt to pass the last quarter to not have to stay back. I don’t think it will help any to switch him with only a month or so left (by the time we are ready and moved in) I don’t think he needs to stay back and am going to see what we can do but that may mean waiting until after June 16 to go live in our house. 

Then I still have a wedding to plan for October 14, 2017. 

I am in pause status on everything and it didn’t help that we both have been sick for the past week. 

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, PAUSE.
