I wish I were better at strongly representing myself in the moment. I caught myself playing the victim earlier in the day. Got an email from her in the meantime, continuing to make assumptions about final billing that may sound fair in her mind but are extremely threatening to me. I almost gave in to impulse in response. Saved my draft response for revision and sending later. Am waiting to be mature and strong. I may or may not get that far.
In the meantime, I'm dealing with the front door unlocked and no one home when I arrived today (wtf?? my house would be safer standing empty)...continually tripping over over-sized bins in the front hallway (minor annoyance, but still annoying)...finding her things in my bathroom (again, minor annoyance...but they're adding up just in this one day)...finding her boxes stored under my bike (so that I can't get it down if I wanted to, and my panniers stacked on top of my bike...isn't she using up enough of my house?)... finding her in the fold-out couch with a date and the projector looked like it had been on past the end of a movie for a while (using up the life of my projector light bulb, which isn't cheap...I'm poor, she's not)...etc., etc.
She SO is not a person who I want in my life. In fact, the sooner she's gone, the better.
