t-minus 2 days

It's officially spring in two days, and I'm looking forward to it in so many ways. Spring is a time of rebirth and looking ahead. I am still sad, and I will continue to be sad (you can't just turn that off, and I cried some more yesterday afternoon)... but yesterday after work, as I was walking in the warm air and beautiful sun, I decided that I'm going to try and focus on looking ahead. I'm going to count my blessings (wonderful husband, adorable puppy, amazing family and friends, understanding job/boss, and weather that's heading in the right direction). I'm going to look forward to the happy things that are coming up (wedding in CT this weekend, to Vegas for work next weekend, Easter, and maybe going camping in April). And I going to look forward with hope to a future that does involve beautiful, healthy babies for Trav and I.

I'm one week into my two weeks of pelvic rest. My follow-up appointment is next Wednesday, and I think getting the all clear and the thumbs up on my healing will help with this forward thinking. (Also talked to the doc yesterday about the weird bleeding/clots from the night before... he's not worried, so I'm not either.)

In the meantime, I'm doing all the "little things" I can. I've been eating better (minus a continued infatuation with MilkDuds... seriously, can't get enough of them), and yesterday I walked the mile to the far train station. It felt good, and I'm only a little sore today. I'm hoping for the physical pick-me-up of course, but looking for some mental health benefits as well. Sunlight is good for happy emotions, and I'm hoping it helps me hold onto the positive, plus helps with the forgetfulness I've been experiencing lately. Seriously, my boss has already emailed me with two things today that I'd forgotten to do. Luckily, as I said, he's understanding... but I need to get it together.

For lunch today, my coworker and I are going to walk a few blocks away to Ritten.house Square Park... its supposed to be 64* today and we don't want to miss it! I'm wearing a sundress to make the most of the weather, and to show off my mani/pedi, which I did get yesterday. Its a light mint green... perfect for St. Patty's Day, Spring, and the green dress I'm wearing to the wedding this weekend (as seen here). In anycase... I need to get to work so I can enjoy my lunch! Lots to do.
