Oh, and, nobody knows that tomorrow morning I'm going to see a dermatologist to check out a spot on my lip that my dentist was concerned about. It's probably nothing, and I'm not really worried, but it would have been nice to have a partner to share it with. It's not something I can tell my parents-- they would freak out and bug me about it forever, and at the moment it's not something to worry about, so I don't want to share it with friends. But, still... it's the kind of thing you tell a partner who will give you a hug and say, "I hope it's nothing. I love you" and then call you from work the next day to find out what happened.
