> I'm glad he was there and warm and welcoming. :)
**** Me too. When we were walking back to his office he kept looking back at me (I always walk behind him) and smiling, and I think he was trying really hard to let me see that he was still the same and hadn't changed.

> Finding a way to stay connected and have continuity is pretty hard. I think we developed habits of bracing ourselves everytime we returned home, whether we were gone an hour or a week. You just never knew what kind of response you would get to things. So it is pretty ingrained and part of who we are.**** Yeah. I posted above to Phillipa about the brain chemistry changes that occur too. I don't know too much about it, but I am taking a biopsychology class this semester that might answer some of that for me.

>**** I'm glad too. It just feels like it's taking so LONG. But my T says that since I'm only 21, there's no way I'll be done with all my 'stuff' by now, that no one's done with all their 'stuff' this early in life... that some of my 'stuff' might not even come up until I have romantic relationships and things like that. And that scares me terribly, but at the same time it's good to hear that I'm a little ahead of the game so to speak. I mean, it's not like I pressure myself or anything... :)
