September self-portrait.

11/09/2008

I drove down to the Anderson County Courthouse this morning and filed a Complaint for Divorce.

My divorce isn’t something I’ve acknowledged directly on Camera Shy or the Journal; it’s not a secret, or something to be hidden, but it’s also not something that I’ve felt a huge need to broadcast over the internet. It’s a private, personal matter — but also something that affects me and my family in apparent, public ways. It’s the whole Camera/Shy thing all over again.

I took this self-portrait earlier this afternoon in the kitchen of No Name New House, which James has now coined The Westlook.  I haven’t lived at the Westlook since July, when James and I officially separated.  You know, Westlook is a nice house, but it’s never really been my house, my home.

But those lovely vinyl tiles do make for a good background for self-portraits.  : )

Hmmm…not quite sure how to wrap up this post…so, I’ll just wrap it up.
