When my T would be away for a couple months at a time, I'd keep a little "blue book" of my thoughts and problems, etc. for each week (page a day :-) and then mail it to her office. If it bothers you that you are bothering her, write stuff out and mail it to her office. Then she can decided what she does with it, when, etc. We never discussed what I wrote unless I brought it up in session and it worked really well for me for several years.
