...I miss this more than I can say.
Maybe it's telling that I have never had my hair cut on the East Coast. After nearly 5 years ostensibly comfortably settled here, I've grown weary of the frantic pace and unhealthy lifestyle of nearly everyone I know. I wish I could go home.
In other news, I'm so grateful that my family in Tuscaloosa survived the tornado. Two of my cousins lost nearly everything they owned, but they and their families are unhurt.
Looks like long hours, lost sleep, and absent life balance are taking their toll. Day off Saturday after 15 days on!

I am glad to hear your family is doing (physically) ok. We were watching the news on the weekend and were so shocked to see the images.
There is something about haircuts (and letting go or hanging on) so I am told from Tobie's sister, Perside, who is a hairdresser. It is an interesting psychology, that is for sure.
About 3 nights ago I had a dream that we were talking on the phone! It was so strange because we were remarking on how long it had been since we talked! =)
I've been thinking about you, in the thick of it these days and hoping that you are surviving and thriving. It is good to hear how well you are monitoring yourself during your precious 'down' time. I'll have to remember that for when my time comes!
You know, it's odd b/c I feel like it has been a long time since we last talked. Maybe it's all those detailed e-mails and separated at birth moments.
Or maybe it's b/c I haven't gotten around to thanking you for sending me myyogaonline video suggestions as
I feel terrible that I've done almost no formal meditation in the past few weeks (and yes, I feel all the worse for it -- certainly less centered).
I'm definitely in the thick of it but mostly thriving if feeling a little nervous about finding a place to live for residency and finding time to study for Step 3 in June. Add that to my recent thoughts that I'm going to miss internship (=the hardest year of my life) and it seems you and I live in perfectly parallel universes!

Now if I could just schedule that haircut.
Hahah, it is true!
Separated at birth and currently living in parallel universes.

Oh, and just for the record, never feel the need to respond to any of my emails--I know how truly consuming intern years are and I certainly don't want to add to your stress. It's just my way of saying 'hi'!
I let my exercise/yoga regime totally slide lately as well, but I have now taped my tri training sched next to my calender in my office and hope that is enough to remind me that in 7 weeks I will be standing somewhere in public place, in a bathing suit. *shudder*
We'll get through this current gauntlet...promise! =)
You know, I have regularly wondered about your tri training efforts as I haven't seen much (any?) in your blog about it since you broke the news! Glad it is still on and imagine it must be going well if your biggest worry is wearing a bathing suit in public. :-)
Yes, yes, we will make it through this as usual! It's amazing how a series of single steps has brought us this far, isn't it?
