Anniversary

Yes, it is that time once again ladies and gentlemen ... time to mark yet another month in my historic journey to complete health and full recovery. it is now one year + two months sans ciggies for me, but i still get violent urges to snatch lit cigarettes out of people's hands. luckily i dont get drunk enough yet to actually do it. i know one friend who started smoking again after a year and a half. i must never let down my guard!

it is also one year + two months since they found 'the little bugger' on my brain stem. and i have been blogging, sporadically i admit, for 11 months. almost a year of blogging! and i have to admit that i am feeling a bit guilty. i know that i havent been blogging as often as i used to and i do feel that my posts are not up to the standard of my first few months of posting. i think i lost a bit of interest and inspiration for a while. i dont want this blog to turn into an 'agony aunt', just a vehicle for my moaning - although i do need it for that too. but i want to write more introspective and interesting posts.

i plan to write something about cape town suburbia vs taipei city life and i also want to write a post on the impact that spending all day in one's pyjamas has on one's choice of wardrobe when leaving the house. so, i have some stuff up my sleeve ... but i think i will pull said 'stuff' outta my pyjama sleeve in winter. mainly because then i will actually have pyjama sleeves - right now it is so hot i am wearing a vest ;-). and yes, that is also my excuse for not blogging as diligently as before. it is summer in cape town and i have been busy tanning, swimming, seeing friends, family and working so that i havent really had much time to blog.

this bout of blogging guilt has partly been caused by the fact that someone i know has been nominated for an 'SA blog of the year award'. i coulda been in there! guilt can be a good thing when it kicks you off your ass and forces you to be pro-active. i MUST start on my book too! (jeez! i sound like a school kid talking about homework! ;-)

BUT it is a beautiful day in Africa and i want to spend it with colin right now ... NOT with my computer.
