At work today my co-worker (who had her baby in Dec.) decided to show up unannounced. My other co-workers were ooohing and ahhing all over the baby. It was all I could do to keep it together and make it back to my office in one piece. One of my friends/co-workers came into my office to talk to me about it and I vented to her for a little bit. Then she told me that the co-worker and the baby had left but would be back a little bit later. So I took that as my cue to take an early lunch. I headed to the bank to deposit a check and it occurred to me that the check I was depositing was for the memorial t-shirts I purchased for my family to wear at my upcoming half-marathon. I got so upset and angry that this women got to be there loving on and showing off her baby and her I was cashing a check for my dead baby.
I headed over to a place that was having a blood drive and decided that because I was feeling awful that I would try to make myself feel better by doing something good. Long story short, an hour later I got turned away because on my honeymoon this past summer I rode on a bus through an area in Malaysia where malaria is present. Ugh. I understand why they had to turn me away but it just felt like another slap.
When I got back to the office about an hour later, what's the first thing I saw as I walked in? The co-worker and her baby again. I quickly turned around and headed downstairs to my friends office and proceeded to cry and vent and emote for the next 30 minutes. Only because I had a meeting that I had to attend did I not run home and crawl under the covers.

Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day.
