At my shared office, I’ve signed the paperwork, hung art and my credentials, and I’m ready to see my first client. I’ve updated and revised my Curriculum Vitae, and I’m realizing the work that the recredentialing process of all of my addiction credentials, as well as my Psychologist licensure, is going to be. Being in Texas for so long, however, was worth it.

At the House of a Thousand Projects, I’ve also acquired another composter, three more strawberry plants, and rubber boots. Lots of little projects are in progress, and more stuff is where it belongs. Ol’ Number 3 has better closet lighting and better closet storage. The greenhouse is slightly more in order, and there’s a birdbath on the deck that was in the way in the greenhouse – now it’s useful and enjoyable.
