Christmas Tree is UP!
Thank Goodness I got my Christmas Tree up today, Yep I did it all by myself again, surprise surprise anytime I need help to do something nobody is ever around even when they say sure I’ll help you, just ask me , well its hard to ask when they are out of town. So I tackled it myself and I cussed and fussed the whole time I am trying to get the two big pieces up out of the box; You see when I bought this tree I had my own mobile home and I had never had my own christmas tree and for many years I was too depressed and too upset to even care if I had any decorations much less a tree, but after many many years I suddenly decided I wanted a tree of my own and it was time for me to decorate for the holidays again ( heal my heartache and pain) again another days’ story but not today;
So when I went to look for a tree I didn’t want those cheap looking ratty old things the retail stores sell, sure they have improved them immensely over the years the artificial tree’s but still I knew there were better ones out there, and I found the most gorgeous realistic tree at Home Depot, it was a beauty!!! Expensive but a beauty! Well of course I bought it, rather I charged it..LOL! It looked magnificent in my mobile home front room it just was so damn beautiful I must say; Then things change in our lives and even though I owned my home I did not own the land it sat on and after living there for 9 wonderful years I had to move it or sell it and I didn’t have that kind of money to move it and to find land to buy to put it on so I sold my home and live in a really crappy place and my huge 7 1/2 ft tree ( huge for me) only fits in the dining area..LOL! The ceilings are so stinking low here that is the only place it will fit and I can’t put my big angel on there but I did find one that is just as beautiful only smaller, so last year I struggled alone with it and this year too and I’m sure when I take it down I’ll be doing that myself as well.
Praise be that there is a local chiropractor I see here in town is all I can say and I pray I have money for the co-pay to go see him as it is I’ve only been able to go once this month and I am in really bad shape,
( pain wise) nothing new there, but once I get this tree decorated then I will be seeing my doctor and ask him PLEASE FIX ME!!! I am in terrible pain, just terrible pain I’ll be lucky to be able to raise my arms to type and to wash my hair that’s how badly I get
( stupid body) stupid neck and back injuries all I can say is, Thank God for pain meds and muscle relaxer’s and heating pads and HOT SCALDING SHOWERS…aahhh they feel so good! That’s the quickest and fastest way for me to get pain relief; So yes My big tree is up, all the light sets are hooked up on it that I can see/find now its just time to decorate it, that will be tomorrow’s task; when I am done I will take new photo’s of my tree and some of my front room, I think its really pretty!! That’s all I have for today, I am exhausted as usual, thanks for stopping by now;
I hope this works. I haven’t left a comment before. I am so glad you got your tree up. I know about pain and depression. Please if you want to talk or vent or cry please feel free to call, emial, or anything I am a good listener. I lost my nineteen year old brother last year. SO I know about the depression and the Christmas season. If it wasn’t for my kids I wouldn’t mess with it. Just know that there are people out there that can understand. I am going to try and subscribe to your blog so I can get to know you better. Take care my new friend.
