Original caption

Ok but how concerned should I actually be because I'm not feeling *great* about it and the arborist can't come out until Monday The crack in this tree has gotten so much bigger in the last month and the last arborist said it was probably gonna heal itself. It doesn't look like it's healing. It was windy today. If it falls when I'm sleeping tonight I'm gonna be so mad. It's right outside my bedroom and leaning toward my neighbors house. Won't be good for either of us. Ughhhhh. So much for "we do emergency tree services". Ughhhh.
