Wife falling back into TV addiction

Was told by her, she would take ornaments off the Xmas Tree and be ready to take the fake tree down put it away three weeks ago, that happened Saturday.  Ornaments boxes I brought up from Downstairs three weeks ago and sat in the living room floor, she pushed them aside to watch TV.    Was told she would wash kitchen window of splash stains and front door glass where dog rubbed his nose on it, not been touched yet and that was three years ago, reminds me she is going to get to that.

Was told by her She would vacuum the house at least weekly(Have a whole house system, and had installed for convenience), still not been done since week before Xmas, prior to that was last week of September.  Odie the Dachsy was her Mother's dog, was explained she would take care of him and get his regular visits scheduled, I ended up with him as my duty.  I feed him, I get a yell in the morning He needs to go out, I get a commentary when he has not been scheduled to the groomer by ME.  Got told I need to work harder on cleaning the house when a drink she spilled made the floor sticky and she keeps stepping on the spot.

She wanted bird feeders, guess who refills, sets and takes down the feeders.  She wanted a better car bought her the 2017 explorer, her choice, she takes care of it as does the house, back seat is non functional as full of jackets, shopping bags, stuff she bought but forgot to unload, stuff she took to work but failed to take in, old clothes she intended to take to Church rummage sale last August.  Has not been washed since I did it last July.

Has no concept of time passed.  Doc told her she needed to lose 20 lbs three summers ago, that increased to fifty this last visit three months ago, and she whined at me the other day she is SO Tired after work she just cannot manage a exercise program or getting out to walk what the doc recommended as of 1 mile out one mile back three times per week, he has threatened to stop seeing her if she does not make a concerted effort at some form of exercise.   Looked at her car and stated is it really five years old now?  Looked at the house last week and the calendar, said man has it really been seven years this summer we moved in, she is aggravated as I am always in the yard or in the shop or on a tractor, someone has to get some things done, suggests I just need to set for awhile.

With my truck driving payroll, with the tax reductions for Farm Machines and Fuel, the expenses for materials as write offs against taxes we receive she now sees SHE is the 'Big Spender' and works albeit not very hard to discontinue.  My retirement and driving Payroll in general is three times MORE than she makes with OT.

Expenses for TV are being removed, closed her accounts with THREE add on systems (almost $150/mo)although still has two that required a one year contract, and is working to ween herself off the reruns kind of somewhat.

She then realized she had a problem, we stopped ALL the extras AGAIN.  Then she became upset she could not see at least her favored Yellowstone so pleaded to get the BARGAIN Priced DISH Network(Two year Contract pricing) which we have currently and then local NBC Station dropped DISH so she lost access to Some programs(LAW AND ORDER Reruns, NCIS Reruns, other Reruns I have a problem with) as are 'Depressing' in message they send out.  She backed off awhile then figured she cannot get certain Premium Channels to watch Mandalorian or the subsequent spin offs and the NFL End Bowl games as they are on NBC.  So behind my back bought another program at $5/month PLUS special prices for Special Run programs.  Then without telling me tried to install around locks that are in place, got more and more aggravated finally asked me to install this.  Told her NO.  She asked why and I stood in front of her pointed to items she had stated for the last several weeks 'Would Get To' that were being ignored.  She got the hint.  She did however go online and figured out how to install on the ROKU downstairs so at least she HAS to go up and down the stairs to watch anything 'Special' where has taken on her list that was being ignored.

Ongoing Saga, doubt will ever stop but should she get a wild hair she already knows she dooms herself NOT me.

She evidently sat down and did some numbers crunching, what she came up with if she only eats three days a week and for under $100 a week for ALL Food, consumable soft goods, clothing, gas, utilities and keeping her car maintained she could afford basic cable NO ADD ONS.  IF she did not eat more than $100/week, not reality, one MINOR Home repair and she would be in the bank trying for a loan, on a paid for house.  Figured she could lose it in two to three years.

So she apologized and got started doing things again, will see how long it lasts.

yeah....

if I said that here, you guys would see a 'FREE D-14s and Kubota and implements ad up real soon !!!

She is NOT happy.
