hi there Mari,

have missed you. i am.. .ok, sorta. besides some concrete things i cannot share, i still feel like a fraud and a failure. at age 30, i said to myself, go to med school now? and become a doctor at age 40? well now, at age 40, i'm thinking, go to med school now? and become a doctor at age 50?

hmmmm... there's something wrong with this picture. i'm not even sure if that's what i want or who i am. i think when you're 40 and you have thoughts like this where your old job doesn't fit and you don't know who you are let alone what to do or how.... i think in the "old days" they used to call this an "identity crisis".

that would make me, identity crying? ok. that works.

how are you keeping? and how are you sleeping?

i read that you and the students are all bored. i don't know if saying... well it's almost Christmas is any consolation lol, the holidays being so icky for many of us.

how is your therapy going? still doing accupuncture?

there is a pdoc/accupuncturist in my area i keep meaning to call to see if she sees ppl other than her assigned state patients. been meaning to for a year. maybe next year i'll get around to it and let you know if anything interesting comes of it, bipolar wise, as that's what i would ask for.
