I worked today. Yeah, I know....most of you out there are thinking "Big whup" but for me, this was a return to a place I've been gone from for almost four weeks. I looked good (black slim pants, close fit red short sleeved sweater, my black and white Doc wing tips) and I was actually feeling pretty good. People there acted as if I were a ghost they had only heard rumors about, while Mira came and gave me a huge hug. Several people told me I looked thin-something I could only blush at and say thank you-and others said they were glad to see me back. I sat at Jenn's desk and did autochecks (a new task I picked up in less than 10 minutes) and tried to pull checks-didn't last long as the dust made me cough a lot. I came home, changed clothes, and headed out for a walk with Kebby-my "new but living down the hall from each other for six years" friend. We were out for almost 90 minutes and I am gradually feeling the heat come out of me. She and I are getting to know each other more and more each time we go walk, and I'm hoping to walk with her just about every day until my trip to Houston (and then when I get back too).

In an attempt to help with the capri pants nightmare that %%diary-oddly-enough%% has been having, I suggest ordering some of those peddle pushers that I got. I tried the black ones on moments ago and am surprisingly pleased with the result...well, that is, they fit. I won't be wearing anything like your Magical Mystery Shirt any time soon with them, but I can get into them. Just try 'em, Katielou!

The G has been amazing lately. He's been treating me to dinner and movies and little things like bottled water (lmao!) and is really trying to be supportive in this whole trek I'm dealing with called my life. I got the call from Dr Commers today that my bloodwork came back normal. This could be, of course, because I am taking antibiotics and was at the time of the initial draw, but I'm trying to stay positive. I found out I don't have cancer and I'm trying to really focus on the positivity that comes with that kind of news. So what if we don't know why I keep getting so sick? I don't have cancer! Why do I feel shitty? We know it's not cancer!

Anyway, I'm exhausted from all the walking and working and I'm hoping to do it all again tomorrow!
