Thanks to the Massachusetts mandatory health insurance (and thanks to being 'jobless', I am one of the people who greatly benefits from the program--though Seth and I say his taxes are paying for me), I had my first physical in four and half years. The doctor confirmed my suspicion that I have shin splints in both legs, which first became a problem when training for Inward Bound two years ago. Fantastic.
Another overdue realization came with Seth staying in Westford last night. We had been dog-sitting for Mark and Gina this past week, but since I have a field trip this morning (leaving from Brandeis), we figured we could save Seth a long drive by having me stay in Waltham while he went back to Westford after an evening recital at school yesterday. This was the first time I had been completely by myself overnight in almost three years. The month Seth was gone while I was at Johns does not count, nor does the 6 weeks he was gone when I was at the share-house in Canberra, since in both cases I was still in close-quarters with other people.
