oh, the possibilities

Brandon and I got back from Steamboat today. Possibly the best 3 day vacation ever. Opener was a glorious morning in 16 inches of freshies at Copper. Followed by an afternoon wasting time in Silverthorne while waiting for Rabbit Ears to open. An incredible B&B. Some nice cross country skiing. A fantastic afternoon soaking in the hot springs. A nice, romantic evening in Steamboat. A really, really good trip.

I got back and went to take care of some paperwork with the school of public health. The Dean just casually mentioned the MD/MPH program starting in the fall. This started a cascade thinking that just might lead back to medical school. Recently things have become much sharper. Its like all of a sudden a layer of plastic has been removed from my thinking. I can read better, I feel more motivated. All with just a relatively small adjustment in medication. And we're still planning on going down further. I just suddenly feel like more is possible. I feel like I want to study for step one. I feel like I can do it. And that I want to put in the effort.

We'll see. I'm trying to take it slowly. But its hard when it feels so exciting that I might get my life back. Maybe.
