Mood Update

Let’s face it. Life as an out-of-work starving artist enduring the worst Kansas winter in memory (my memory, at least) has been a challenge for yours truly. Since mid-December it’s been nothing but nasty weather, head colds, car repairs, shoveling snow, vacuuming sand and salt off my floors every day, tight budget, no escape. . . ARGH! I’ve been feeling like a glass half-empty for weeks on end.

Today, though, I got that glass-half-full feeling back. And as the day goes on, mood is swinging wildly upwards.

Why? You may well ask.

Because it’s a beautiful, sunny, 58-degree day as I write this. No other reason at all.

I intend to celebrate with the hubby tonight. We’ll have a very spring-like meal. We don’t even have to argue about the gas fireplace — because I clearly won’t be freezing my butt off.

My dad brought over some very pricey, very good quality salmon. Thanks Dad! So Sebastian will fire up the grill and take care of the fillets. I got some pretty decent looking asparagus at the store, too. I’ll steam that and pair it with lemon butter. Add some couscous on the side, and we’ll be good to go.

There you have it — my mood update. A mood so good I just had to write about it!
