Making a post on my current life

Its early in the morning and I’m up so I thought Id do a summary of whats going on with me.

  1. The house : Closing is supposed to be June 9th. We were hoping to push it up sooner but keep running into snags. First the Appraiser wanted a basement window fixed. I did that…took off the window fixed the glass and reinstalled. Now there is a leak/clog in the kitchen sink that seems to be moving between the wall and under the sink. Both the appraiser and I want that fixed. This is falling on the sellers shoulders. The bank also keeps asking for more elaborate/detailed/specific documents of what I have already given them, which is driving me crazy. The paperwork stuff is getting old.

  2. The marriage : Its still on, set for July 5th. Things keep getting added to the wedding. We were supposed to have a very small wedding followed by a slightly more open reception. The guest list for the reception just keeps growing. I fear that neither I nor my Fiance will be comfortable with it if it keeps expanding.

  3. The JOb : Still working the job part time. I dont enjoy it much, but it pays pretty good, so I am powering through to keep the finances in good shape for the house purchase and repairs.

  4. Bowling : This is my biggest hobby lately and my greatest source to destress. I am thinking that I may not ever be able to beat my high score of 177 bowling a straight game so have decided that I am going to try to work on developing a hooking ball to improve my game. Am scheduled to bowl this Saturday with My brother in law, autistic niece and Fiance, so I will try to develop my hook then.

  5. Fiance : God bless her and all. She is trying so hard to be supportive and not take any stress she gets out on me. She has a tendency to do this. If she doesnt get her way or gets stressed out doing something , in the past she gets angry at me. Getting her way usually involves me visiting her or sex or something. And stress usually involves somethig with the wedding that she cant handle. I can tell she is trying hard to maintain her composure and not take her frustration out on me. I still see it seep through sometimes a bit but she is making an effort and the situatioin is improving.

  6. Illnesses : Supposedly I have bronchitis. I also think I have a cold on top of it now. My blood sugar is almost always either low or high. Having a hell of a time getting it in the middle. If i take glipizide it shoots down like a stone. Often, if I dont it hovers high for long periods of time which is not good for me either.

  7. Sleep : Is there such a thing? Lol. Serioiusly, I cant get more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep at a time because of either low blood sugar, coughing fits when Im laying down, or just my waking up for no apparent reason. I guess I never appreciated how well I slept in my youth. I really miss it now.

  8. Conclusion : Some good, some bad, not much in the middle. At least my life isnt boring. I tend to lean towards moving in the direction of good despite the setbacks and pitfalls, so I’ll take it as a win.

Anyway, theres my update. Thanks for reading.

It looks like you can handle stress pretty good. I hope things with the house work out this time.

You are doing it all. I’m proud of you @Bowens with more responsibility and life problems comes more stress. Just carve out time for yourself when you can. You are doing great!

Seems like your taking on a lot man. Not gonna tell you what to do but I think you need more sleep honestly or a relapse is possible. Not to be negative but seems like a high stress situation and zero sleep.
