#046 - Finally found and started laser, tons of homework, and my landlord/roommate has returned.

Sunday, March 21, 2015

So a lot has happened since last time I wrote. I've been super busy with school and I've been procrastinating on homework. I'm even procrastinating right now as I write this because it's a really awful paper to write. I need to write a twelve to fifteen page APA paper on nursing home statistics in a US state of choice. It's very long and it's very boring and I don't want to do it. But like always, I put it off until the last minute which is today, Sunday. The paper is due this Thursday and I definitely will not have time to write it during the weekdays.



Anyways, I finally found a laser hair removal place that's affordable. They're charging $1,500 for six laser hair treatments for the entire face, jaw, and neck region. That's quite a difference from Ideal Image who wanted to charge me up to $8,400 for nine treatments. The type of laser this place uses seems to check out and be an acceptable effective form for trans women. My first treatment was yesterday morning and wow did it sting. It hurt a bit more than electrolysis, but it was much much faster. It was all over within fifteen minutes. My face is still a bit red and tender, and there are already a few hairs that are starting to jut out which is a good sign. The paperwork I received that I should expect results within two weeks maximum.



I'm hopeful but am already looking at alternatives in case it doesn't work. In the meantime, my face still stings when touched so I'm not sure how I'm going to shave tomorrow morning. I'm not going to be making a video anytime within the next few weeks.

Finally, my landlord finally returned. She is still enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to a station in Japan for the past few years. My other two roommates have moved out and I've had the house to myself for the past couple of months. I've made a sort of mess of the house, not a disgusting mess but a mess of miscellaneous stuff left around the house in excess. Now that she's home, I've been scrambling to clean up and fit it all back into my tiny bedroom, but so far it's made my bedroom difficult to live in. I need time to really clean it up and organize, but that's time I don't have. My landlord/roommate has moved back in and wants to repaint and rip up the carpet, my messy room is a roadblock to that.

That cleaning definitely won't get done this weekend and probably not next weekend either. I have yet another large paper that's due the next week after. This sucks and my roommate makes no effort to hide her annoyance. It turns out I'm a bad roommate and I feel awful.
