It has taken me a few weeks to get settled into my cozy rural respite but I really love it here. The hills, open space, and quiet are very healing for me. There are very few distractions, so it's very easy for me to stay focused on what I need to do to get well. I love taking walks with Tomtom and seeing so many animals: cows and calves, horses, sheep and lambs, goats and kids, burros, chickens, deer, peacocks, guinea hens, cats, dogs...and Tomtom thinks it's his job to bark at all of them, haha.
I just had a great weekend with family. My parents came in town for Luke's nursing school pinning ceremony. He's done! I'm so proud of him.
Tyler came in town for a few days, in between client visits. We were so glad to finally see each other after six rough weeks apart. I was so excited to show him around Boerne. He got me set up with a wifi extender in my apartment so I can get some signal. Yay! Six weeks without wifi has been tough, haha!
Tuffy died about a week ago. She ran away off the clinic property and a man found her under an overpass one exit east in rough shape. She didn't get hit by a car, they think she ate some kind of poison. It's really sad. She was a furry angel. There were many days I would be crying in my car, unable to get out and walk into the colonic building and she would appear and wait for me to open the car door to pet her. Then I would feel a little better and she would slowly walk me up the hill to the building and wait with me inside and even lay on the floor in the treatment room. I don't know how she knew to appear on those really rough days. It's so sad she's gone.
I'm really hoping I'm in the home stretch here. I'm very ready to be done and go home! I'm hoping that time is coming soon.

Nickel LOVED Tyler (this is right after he licked Tyler's arm!)
Bye Tuffy. You will be missed.
