“Mommy! Where were you? It was too long. I cried.
“I very missed you.”
“‘Cause I pretty love you.”
-George Hood, February 2011
So yeah – things have gotten A LOT better since the last time I posted. I mean, I still have a “suspicious mass” in my lower abdomen and an appointment with a general surgeon tomorrow. But I’m also still feeling pretty confident that it’s all going to be just fine.
And the morose depression stuff? Also better. Talking to my husband and hearing from so many good friends helped put things into perspective. Actually, just knowing how much people care was probably the biggest help. Even though I closed comments, I still got e-mails from the people I don’t see every day. I wasn’t great about replying – but I do want to thank all of you who went out of your way to reach out to me. I’m not very good at asking for help – especially when I think I’m being overly dramatic (which is always). But every single message warmed my heart and reminded me of just how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life, IRL or otherwise!
In the meantime, I figured some things out, and now have an exciting new opportunity that involves blogging and design/decor. But I’ll have to write more about that tomorrow along with details about how my appointment went.
Continue to send me the prayers, positive thoughts and good juju. I honestly believe that all of it counts. Just knowing that it’s coming my way makes a big difference. And makes me even more sure that I’ll kick ass in this whole surgery thing.
Even though I’m a wuss. I can fake it.
Kate, my goodness. Are you okay? Please let me know how things went with your doctor's appointment. Sending you all my love and positive thoughts and good vibes. Scary health scares are the absolute worst, my friend. xoxo
Extra-strength good vibes coming your way!

My four year old says that too! I very missed you. I was very coughing. So cute! Hope all is well. Sending lots of prayers your way.
YAY! So glad you're feeling better, are optimistic about the appt and have an exciting new design blogging opportunity. My apologies for spamming you with seventy billion emails the other day! I have the best intentions, as you know! :)
I'm sending all my good juju to you.
I was so happy to see your post in my Reader. I'll keep the prayers and good juju flowing. Glad you're feeling better, and I'm anxious for you to get rid of that "suspicious mass". Thank you for keeping us posted. You're definitely gonna kick some ass! xo
Fake it til you make it Mama! Are we still getting together this Sunday in Clarendon?? Healthy happy vibes coming your way!
I knew I should have sent you an email! I was trying to be all respectful and give you space. I'm sending you all of my best thoughts and hoping and praying that everything will be fine.
You're awesome, Kate. Truly one of the very best people I've met out here. I would very miss you too if you decided to stop writing. Don't stop writing. xo
I'm happy to hear that things are looking up!
You'll kick some mass ass, I am sure! Much love to you!
