NSV's galore today!!

I work in a lab and part of my job is taking blood. We weren't too busy today so I chit chatted a little more than usual. Had a client in my chair. Here's a snippet of our conversation:
Her: Are you having a nice day?
Me: Absolutely lovely. It'll be even better at 3:30 because that's when I start my vacation.
Her: Oh, going anywhere special?
Me: On a cruise to the Caribbean.
Her: Oh, you'll have a lovely time. I've been on several. You'll be treated like a queen... good service... luxurious....
(You get the drift, right. Then the best part!)
Her: Oh, and the food. You'll absolutely die. It's fabulous and there's so much. You'll want to say no but you won't be able to because it's all so good. Ah, but you're thin. You can afford it.
Seriously, did she just look at me and call me thin?! Seriously?! I could have kissed her. (Please note, I am not anywhere near thin but her words just made my whole day.)

I was telling this story to one of the nurses I work with. One of the doctors overheard and interrupted me to say, "Yeah, I was here on the weekend and was wondering when Jill started drawing blood... until I saw your front and realized you were you and not Jill."
OK, Jill is an employee in another department. Jill is fit. Jill is beautiful. Jill is thin. She can mistake me for Jill any day of the week!
#3
I bought a new pair of 3" strappy heels. They fit with no pudge between the straps. The ankle strap fits around my ankle! I can walk in them because I'm not trying to balance 300+ lbs on a teeny tiny stiletto. My son said I looked like a prostitute (which I'm taking as an NSV because no one would have paid me any amount of money for sex 6 months ago!)
Oh happy day!! (Now, if I can find a pair of knee-high, black leather boots I'll be in heaven.)
