So my nostrils, and the rest of my head did indeed emerge from the waters of internal medicine if not triumphantly, at least intact. Then they filled up with snot. The point of sharing this information is not to whine, just to make an excuse for not posting before today.
I have wonderful family and friends. That's mostly the point of this post. So much of my energy this year has gone to working and studying and thinking about those two activities; and not much as gone towards relationships with the people who are really important to me. I have been a really bad friend in many instances - taking weeks to return phone calls at times. I have been an absent grandaughter, a lazy girlfriend, and a boring sister - and yet everyone has been patient with me. Friends just keep calling back, grandparents remain grateful for any contact, sisters persist, Kyle understands, and parents fly across the continent to freeze 19 single servings of homemade soup.
Thanks guys.

Interesting thing about committed relationships...those that are in them with you understand that there will be times in your life when your energy absolutely has to be centred on other people, places and things. That will not change their love for you or their willingness to be in relationship with you. They will wait, knowing that this situation is only temporary, keenly aware that when they themselves have had to focus on other big things in their lives, you have stayed true to your relationship with them!
Love Mum

I would grow wings and fly to the moon for you if you needed me!
