Home Interview #1 The Second Time Around

So, the agency didn't meet to review our case until . . actually I don't remember the chain of events. But, I do remember getting a call at work last week. i was in the middle of a full case review and was trying to facilitate positive strategy building among 7 people who don't feel so positive about each other and at that moment weren't feeling so positive about the clients. All this to say, I was quite happy to hop up and take the call.

Our case worker (who may not stay our case worker, the agency does this weird switchy thing after your case is rolling, I haven't been able to figure out the rhyme and reason), was on the other end, all quiet and timid like she is. She said- "I just wanted to let you and Elena know we've decided to move forward with your case." (See! There's that phrase again!) She's said it too quiet and too not-excited. I was excited.

Now I'm excited to finish up with my work day and meetings and dumb commute home (I have an afternoon meeting that makes my trip home all upside down) so that I can show this woman my terribly ripped up, mid-sink-wall-bathroom-roof-repair home.

I wonder what she'll say about the deep trench I've dug in the front yard and partially filled with wine and beer bottles? Or the broken plates stuck to the side of the house . . .
