I wish I could say that the green smoothies we had for breakfast this morning were made specially for St. Patrick’s Day, but they weren’t.  I add spinach to my fruit smoothies on a regular basis.  Makes me feel like I’m pulling something over on myself. 

But it is St. Patrick’s Day.  I wanted to be out celebrating with flagons of ale.  However, my lower back has been acting up for the last couple of weeks.  I blame moot court brief writing and hours of sitting hunched over.  A heavy backpack full of law school books probably contributes to my back strain too.

Regardless, my back hurts too much to do anything more than lie around, go on slow walks with my cat, and eat brunch at the closest brunch place. 

My acupuncture appointment yesterday didn’t provide immediate relief though I do think it helped somewhat.  I have another one scheduled this Wednesday, we’ll see if that helps out more.

Even if I didn’t get any Guiness today, I did have a Black and Tan cupcake yesterday.  Pretty delicious.  Hope you had a more rip-roaring St. Patty’s!
