Old haunts

Happily hanging out in the town where I used to live (for 10 years!) & where I met my sweetie. Am seeing good friends and former colleagues. Remembering what it is like to not be new to a place. Remembering how it feels to wear a city like an old coat or a comfy sweatshirt. Very happy. Hanging out in my old haunts. And hanging out in my old self -- the one that wasn't obsessed about how many dpo I am. Feeling totally unpregnant and feeling totally ok about that. No tests yet.
