Walked up to W while I was talking on the phone, wrote her a note that I hadn't received the receipt for medical bill and to please mail it, but that I was giving her the check anyway. Smiled, and walked off. She wouldn't look at me, seemed depressed, and otherwise distant.

Meanwhile, I was dressed in all new clothes, new haircut, basically "as if" but also feeling better about things. I'm not 100% detached, but I'm getting there.

I'll need to be with all this legal b.s.
