Cured at Last...

Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over a drink, one asked,
"What was your most difficult case?"

The other replied, "I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed
that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a fortune. All day
long he waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He never went out, he never
did anything, he merely sat around and waited for this fantasy letter from this
fantasy uncle. I worked with this man for eight years."

"What was the result?"

"It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years, but I finally cured him.
And then that damn letter arrived!"

---------------------------------------
I decided to share this joke with my blog readers, as in some twisted way it relates to a recent event in my life (only I had to wait 3 years, not 8). Also a reminder that those of us in a fantasy world aren't always wrong ;-)

Ive been off hiding from my world again, so it may take me a bit of time to catch up on blogging, but I fully intend to make 2006 a more full blog year than 2005 was. I have a lot to talk about, my classes, my hobbies, my ever changing academic situation (there is consideration for an additional minior), my GITI's development, my progress with losing weight and "beefing up" and many other topics.
