sometimes my patients say things i feel like everyone should hear and enjoy...

patient: ashlee, i'm going to give you the biggest hug of your life
ashlee: you are?! do you think i'm ready for that?
patient: maybe you should spit out your gum first.

Tonight I'm finding refuge at my friends' house. Tornadoes are swirling around the twin cities, not really sure what they are up to. So, I packed up and relocated to a place that seems more tornado ready. As in, they have a basement that doesn't freak me out. And that I wouldn't have to share with my pot-smoking neighbors at a moments notice.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been moving along at a good pace... I would consider myself settled in the apartment, which is nice. I really do love it. Just the way it is.

August is not about being home, though. That does make me feel a little drained, but soon it will be done and I can begin the process of settling into fall.

Fall. Wow. Too soon.
