Much to my relief, not only did I manage to do up my fat jeans today, but I wore them all day.<\/p>\n

Even though I went in to work on Tuesday, it was such an out-of-routine day (I spent most of it at a conference) that I hardly feel like I was at work at all last week.

Maybe I can just ask everyone to e-mail their condolences to me?<\/p>\n
Thanks again for your comments, your virtual hugs, and your support.
