A short break!
I find myself with a couple of days to catch up with myself. It's wonderfully unusual. I've gone grocery shopping for the first time in a month? two? I'm cooking dinner - coq au vin. I've done some laundry. I bought a pillow to replace one of those I lost in Vegas after Ms World. (Yes, I always took my pillows with me when I travel, and lost them this last time. I guess it really is time to let go of the past. I'd had them since I was 2!)
I have been working on opening an office with two acupuncture colleagues. We're aiming for January or February. Trying to find a space that works sucks. Our business plan looks like a book. G has an MD from a school in Australia, so he can't practice Western Medicine here, and P is a Pharmacist. They are both also Acupuncturists. My specialty in immune disorders makes me an expert in that area. We are all a bit detail-oriented and should work together well. Need to do a little more work on my sections of the business plan.
I'm supervising students in the acupuncture school's clinic this semester, in lieu of teaching. This is a wonderful way to learn to share what I know and help students to create their relationship to practicing medicine. I waited until I had been practicing for 5 years before agreeing to supervise in the clinic. I will substitute a few classes in a western medical class, which should be a good challenge.
Took another semester off from the doctoral program. The new class starts in January, and I should be able to mix with them to finish my classes, as well as review the Medical Chinese we have to learn.
I ended up getting a bit of a cold, which made K and me take a little time off from each other. We both realized that trying to accomplish a year of a relationship in a month is exhausting. It's time to slow down and get to know each other better. The feelings are so strong, her essence so familiar. I still can't believe it's true. Somebody pinch me to make sure this isn't all a dream...
