squirrels

ME: Hi, how ya doing? Like living here? How's the neighborhood?

SQUIRREL: *no answer. eats a twig*

ME: Ok, it looks like I'll be doing all the talking here. So, I'm staying in that big house behind me. .... what's that? Yes, the jacuzzi does work. But no, you can't use it.

The above is the beginning of a conversation I had this afternoon with a squirrel. Jonas and Daniel are dealing with Bree, or at least trying to. I don't think she's been that responsive. I didn't want to get in the way so I took a walk around the property. I found a good tree stump and took in the fresh air. Then I heard this noise... I looked down and found a squirrel sitting near me. He seemed pretty friendly so I started talking to him.

Herman, that's what I named him, was a pretty good listener. I told him about the week I've had. How I left home, moved in with friends that are basically strangers, helped them rescue their friend from a cult, etc.

You know you've reached bottom when you tell a squirrel your life story.

None of us have slept since yesterday. It's pretty intense in the cabin right now. Trying to get through to Bree is exhausting. It's a good thing she has friends like Daniel and Jonas. They'll never give up on her.
