While I was gutted to miss Sunday's game against Morecambe, it was great to get another three points and maintain our upward momentum.
Five or six weeks ago, a play-off place seemed a long way off, but six wins in our last eight league games have propelled us up the table and to within a point of Newport County in the final play-off position.
As you might imagine, everyone at the Cat & Fiddle is on a high right now and the games can't come quickly enough.
On the subject of my injury, I'm desperately hoping to be fit in time for the visit of Luton on Saturday. I don't like missing any game – especially not one at home to the league leaders in front of what is sure to be a bumper crowd.
I understand the Bedfordshire side have already sold their allocation of more than 1,000 tickets and, in light of our much-improved form over recent weeks, I would like to think there will also be a very healthy turn-out of home fans.
It will be the third time in four home games that we've come up against the team sitting on top the league and having won the previous two, against Bury and Wycombe, it would be great to get the hat-trick.
Of course, even if I am fit, such was the manner of our victory at Morecambe there's every possibility those who did so well at the weekend will keep their places and that I might have to content myself with a place on the bench.
While I didn't make the long trip to Lancashire, having listened to the game on Radio Devon, it was clear that we were the better side from start to finish and good value for our 2-0 victory.
It was also very apparent that the travelling Grecians, who hauled themselves out of bed at some unearthly hour in order to make the 1pm kick-off, were in great voice and more than played their part.
Having almost topped our scoring charts last season, Own Goal has been a bit slow to rediscover his form this time around but duly obliged with an eighth-minute opener at the Globe Arena. And I was even more thrilled to see my good buddy Tom Nichols notch our second.
Tom probably hasn't featured as much as he'd have liked so far this season, but always puts in a shift when he gets the opportunity and I was buzzing for him when he came off the bench to grab the all-important second goal and enable us to see out the final few minutes without too many worries.
Aside from the three points, another big plus to take from the game was that, for the first time this season, we managed not to concede. While we've shown great bounce-back-ability so far this term, you don't want to make things any more difficult for yourself than is entirely necessary. So, with that in mind, we must look to build on this and record plenty more clean sheets over the remainder of the campaign.
I love the playing in the FA Cup and, while it's not a competition we've done very well in over recent years, Monday night's first round draw was, on the face of it, relatively kind to us.
We won't be taking anything for granted though – I can remember us losing to Curzon Ashton in 2008/09 all too well.
However, on our current form, we have to fancy our chances of progressing past a Warrington Town side who play four leagues below us in the Northern Premier League Division One.
And if we can successfully negotiate that hurdle then we're just one game away from the third round and the possibility of drawing a side such as Chelsea or Manchester United!
That's a prospect which excites me and must excite those charged with the difficult task of balancing the club's books every bit as much, if not more!
I've been asked to mention that Saturday's game against Luton is this season's One Game One Community fixture.
All the players will be wearing Kick It Out (anti-racism) T-shirts ahead of kick-off and, it goes without saying, it's a cause I'm very happy to support.
I'd like to think racism isn't a big issue at Exeter but, at the same time, it's something we shouldn't take for granted and anything we can do to challenge discrimination of any form has to be a good thing.
I know Ollie Watkins takes his role as the club's One Game One Community Ambassador very seriously and only recently visited Exeter Mosque as part of the club's Football in the Community initiative.
As a result of that, I understand members of the mosque's youth club have been invited along to watch Saturday's game and I hope they have a wonderful time cheering us on to victory!
As I said, Saturday promises to be quite an occasion and, that being the case, I'd implore anyone with a bit of Exeter City in their heart to make a special effort to come along and lend their support.
I appreciate our home form hasn't been great over the past few years and I can understand why a few fans have drifted away.
However, without wishing to tempt fate, I think we're finally beginning to turn the corner and that anyone returning to the fold might be rather pleasantly surprised.
Here's hoping that's the case and come 5pm on Saturday we're celebrating a seventh win in just nine games.
