The thing in my house that I regularly yell and snarl at but haven’t had the time or energy to formally kick the fuck out has either gone away, doesn’t seem as threatening because I’ve gotten used to it, or has taken down a layer of illusion that it was using to make itself seem like Big Bad. Or it’s gone away and I have something similar but more dopey (?) in my house. I have no intention of cleansing it, really. Mostly because it seems to be following my ground rules now and I’m lazy.
