Living with an Agoraphobic WoW Addict

This is my diary, a record of what it's like living with a partner who has
Anxiety Disorder and Social Phobia and how it's affecting us.

Great day for accomplishment

I've had a productive day today. It's 10.50am and I've just sat down with coffee and bikkies, DP got them for me and set up this computer. Probably to make me sit LOL

I was up at 7am and showered. DP had gotten up about 20 mins earlier and opened a can of Rockstar, an energy drink. I don't think it's really a good way to start the day myself. He made me a milo and I got toast. I went on Facebook and did Farmville and Cafe World before DD 16 packed up her computer to take to school. DD 4 got up and had a milo. DP went to the bathroom and I started tidying the living room. When he got out I was vacuuming the air con. He said he was planning to take the a/c out until next summer. That would give me the chance to clean the window so I don't mind. At the moment the a/c is put into the open window with a cardboard cutout above it stuck in with packing tape. It's been like that for the 3.5 years since the landlord put it in. He bought it because we'd had DD 4 in the winter and it was her first summer. DP rang today to get a price on perspex, $100 roughly. There is a big black house spider living between the 2 pieces of glass, and it's full of webs that I can't get get rid of, it looks horrible.

So I vacuumed up the spider webs on the walls and in the window behind the curtains. I moved the sofa and chairs and vaccied under them. I've done about half the living room and took a break. I'm on the phone now, have been for nearly 30 mins, chatting to a friend. While I was doing the living room DP has been on the computer. I defrosted the freezer too, cleaned it out before I sat down. I said we need to get the old fridge resealed, DP rang to get a price on that too - $155 for just the fridge or $185 for the fridge and freezer. So he looked on ebay and found seals for $55 delivered for the fridge and $85 for both. So $100 for installation... I reckon I could do it LOL The other thing DP has been doing is researching coeliacs and gluten free living. I'm not sure why but he's thinking it may be his "problem". He mentioned watching what he was eating and the reaction afterwards. Now he is playing WoW and has been since I sat down to have coffee... and he just headed to the bathroom again. Damn, I wanted to go LOL Oh well. Off to finish cleaning up I think.
