She’d laugh, sayin’, “Honey, I’m my own boss, how’s that workin’ for ya?” And lemme tell ya, it worked! Made me happy as a pig in mud seein’ her own it. Ain’t no shame in survivin’, y’all. But folks?

I finally get outta there, and I’m thinkin’ about how I can’t wait to get back to the woods. No traffic, no crazy markets, just me and the trees. But hey, Turate? You’ve got a piece of my heart now. Just don’t make me come back during rush hour, okay?
