For the better
Jul. 21st, 2009 11:04 amI've now issued my first eviction as a landlord. Whoooof. I didn't actually have to say much, because Boy gave the news, and then Evictee immediately walked out of the room without saying anything. So, yeah, I guess it could've gone worse.
There's another 28 days before Evictee has to be out of the house, though, so hopefully things will stay smooth. If it doesn't, I will Blow. UP. As far as this person's role in the household, I am completely done dealing with all of the B.S., and if I'm pushed even a little, I WILL snap. A little part of me almost hopes Evictee sets me off, because it'd be cathartic on multiple levels to just get in his face and completely unload on him.
That's only a small part, though. I like keeping it mellow. :)
In other, more positive news, I'm finally starting to get caught up on photo processing. A bunch of people sent in picks either right before or during my trip, so I came home to a lovely backlog. Sigh, the price you pay for vacation, I guess. Better to have lots of work than none, though. :)
Here's one of the images selected by the plus-size woman I worked with before I left town. I can't even TELL you how amazing her skin was... we did some beauty shots in addition to this, and she just *glowed*:

I also am finally starting to feel like myself again, thank GOD. I think yesterday was the first time I felt much of anything outside of being tired and wanting to sleep. I even had a very frank chat with a coworker yesterday, and I feel okay today, too.
Counselor suggested the notion of scaling back to meeting every two weeks, instead of every week, so I think I'll be calling her today to let her know that I'm comfy with that notion. I've found myself feeling like I don't have as much to talk about during my sessions, so although I wouldn't call myself All Better Now, I think I've progressed enough that I don't need to go in every single week. Fingers crossed. :)
So yeah, changes are coming, but they're certainly for the better.
