I’m still editing photos from the session on Monday. I figure I’m about 75% finished. It’s just so hard to get into a groove when I’m constantly getting interrupted. I’ve also discovered I need to be more brutal when it comes to cutting down images. Processing 50 is quicker than processing 100.
During this process I’ve been able to identify a lot of spots that need streamlining in my workflow, which is helpful. I’m taking notes as I go. I’m hoping to get the session finished off and mailed off to Sam by the end of the weekend.
Aaron’s here. He’s putting Chloe to sleep at the moment.
The situation between he and I is a little unsure at the moment. We had another argument the other night because he thought I was just stringing him along and trying to keep him waiting for an answer to the "get back together" issue. I explained why I was taking so long to make a decision, and had in fact planned on sitting him down the night before our argument because I had made a decision. But then the next day he told me about losing his job and I had some more thinking to do.
Without going into all the drama and dragging out the details, I have decided to let bygones be bygones about everything. I told him that I am willing to put in the work with him to see if we can rebuild our marriage, but there were a few conditions. The first of which was that he had to move back in. I can’t put any energy toward our relationship if all of my energy is spent raising two kids 24/7. The others were that if he ever lied to me, ever quit another job, was ever unfaithful to me in ANY way, ever did any kind of drugs (I was covering all my bases), that it was over. Pretty much that he is on his last chance with me. And I told him he needs to work his ass off to prove to me that he can support me and the kids, and that means getting out of the dead end jobs he’s been in for years and getting into a career.
He said he would think about it, because he is hesitant that moving back in will make things worse and not better. I told him that it’s all up to him from this point. *shrug* I don’t know what’ll happen, honestly. I’m not worrying about it, though.
And I think my break time is over. Back to the grind…
