Hahaha sorry about last week, it was Lyme Disease. Again. I was feeling very ill so I went to urgent care for a blood test and it came back positive, I guess the ticks around my house are pretty bad. :( I'm on antibiotics now and am feeling a lot better, though I do remember the antibiotics being rough last time and I still have a lot of pills to go... So I can't say I'm through the woods yet, but I'm on my way! :)
Anyway, little Terry! :) There's a lot she's not saying.

She raises her arm while describing it.
"It's pretty nice considering. Budget's a little tight, but now that I own my own business I bring back stuff from time to time. I owe everyone there a lot..." She looks down introspectively and cringes a bit when she says, "But it has been a little while since I visited..."
