I want to walk out of here with my head up. I want to go out in style, and fashion is what I've done for 21 years. It's something that I love. So, when I'm finished with my work, I slip on the silver sequined Dolce & Gabbana demi-couture gown that I packed in my bag this morning. I put it on lying down so I can't be snapped by the paparazzi, who can see in the window. When I get outside, they start screaming, going crazy, as I get into my friend Giuseppe Cipriani's silver Bentley. I go back to his place and relax for an hour before I fly out to Miami, because I want to watch my friends Venus and Serena [Williams] play in the Sony Ericsson/IMG tournament. I go to sleep late, but I wake up early, thinking about my coworkers who are continuing their service. I call Marc, and he says, "We missed you today." But life goes on, and I learned from my mistakes. I'm enjoying my life in recovery, and I don't find it boring.
And it's just one day at a time. That's how I'm going to live.
