Today was an interesting day.  The man and I did some spring cleaning (it was necessary ~ piles seemed to be accumulating in all sorts of places in our house, filled with things we felt vaguely indifferent about … not very motivating during the gloom of January and February) but we also ran a bunch of errands. For a misty, bleh Saturday, I felt incredibly energetic.  Possibly due to the insane amount of vitamins I am now taking on a daily basis.  I told the man that I am going to write a comic book about a heroine whose super power comes from vitamins & green smoothies.

“Like Popeye and spinach?” He said.  I nodded, feeling slightly deflated that my idea wasn’t as genius as I originally thought.  But I still like it. 🙂

It was a good day ~ a normal day ~ and I revisited some of my posts from January and smiled to myself because even now, I’m feeling much more positive and upbeat.  And trust me, I am more than nervous for my nurse visit, and self-injection tutorial.  Shivers.  Down my spine. Ooooh boy.

As a reward for getting so much accomplished today, the man and I are treating ourselves to a movie tonight ~ “Silver Linings Playbook”.  I used to make an effort to see all the Best Picture Oscar nominees pre-ceremony, but have fallen woefully short the past few years (and since the rules changed and the number went up!).  This year, the man has generously indulged my addiction, and this is the fourth nominated film we are seeing.  We clearly won’t make it to nine, but last year, I don’t think I saw a single nominee in any of the big categories, so I’m very excited.

Usually we have some people over for the ceremony, but we’re going low-key this year.  But I’ve still got a meal planned, fixings for chocolate covered strawberries and fake bubbles (we gave up drinking for Lent).  I’m in a blogging kind of mood, so I will share all the details tomorrow, after church.  For now, we’re scooting out the door to catch our movie.  Hope you have a great Saturday night, too!
