I returned a million phone calls yesterday... okay, more like 5... But the point is that I'm horrible with returning phone calls, but I did, because I appreciate all my friends so very much. I appreciate their messages, their emails, their blog comments, their never giving up on me even though I'm perpetually going temporarily MIA for no reason at all. I'm getting back into the groove of things today -- namely, studying. I have anatomy spread all over my dining room table, and somehow, that gives me a sense of normalcy and control amidst ALL these insanity. I love you, friends! I miss you, New Orleans.
