Happy Birthday!! November 20th

english version below

Epa, deixei passar o aniversário do blog!! :-s

Pois é, 2 aninhos cumpridos desde este primeiro post: http://mochilavazia.blogspot.com/2005/11/primeirissimo.html

Umas vezes mais assídua, outras mais ausente, aqui vou deixando pedacinhos dos meus dias, dos meus pensamentos, das minhas alegrias e perturbações.
Há leitores que comentam, outros que passam discretamente até ao dia em que numa conversa qualquer me dizem "soube pelo teu blog" ou "outro dia, fartei-me de rir com o que escreveste".

Para mim, tem sido sempre fonte de divertimento além de método catártico. Por isso, continuarei a aparecer por aqui, espero que com mais frequência a partir de Janeiro. Até lá, "valores mais altos se levantam".

Espero que vocês também continuem a apreciar seguir alguns dos meus passeios e devaneios. Ah! tenho um telemóvel novo com câmara, por isso, as fotos voltarão! Ilustrado tem mais piada.

Parabéns, Wandering e obrigada aos meus leitores!

Gosh, I forgot this blog's anniversary! :-s

Well, well, 2 years gone by since the first post. The first in English came a few days later: http://mochilavazia.blogspot.com/2005/12/in-english.html

Regularly or once in a while, depending on the time available and on the mood, I post here notes about my days, my thoughts, my joys and 'disturbances'.
Some readers often leave a comment, others prefer to pass unnoticed until the day they say "I know, it was on your blog" or "I had so much fun with your post the other day".

For me, posting is always a pleasant moment and a way of catharsis. So, I'll keep on showing up, hopeflly more often by mid-January. Till then, there are other priorities.

I hope you keep on enjoying my wanderings of body and mind. Ah! I have a new mobile with camera, so I'll be posting photos again. :-) With pictures is funnier.

Happy Birthday, Wandering! and thanks to my readers!

Life these days

Not many changes since the last post.

I'm much more relaxed, that's for sure, although still with my hands full of things to do.

Other than the emails, the list of 'to post' is also growing. As other things in this life, hopefully time will help improving the quality. On the Winter nights, I'll imagine a fireplace next to me while I transform notes on bits of paper into blog posts.

Translation - still ongoing and going well (and I'm still enjoying and that's good), I can 'see the light at the end of the tunnel'.

Surgery (gall bladder, for those who don't know about my 'adventure') - my name is on file, which means I'll be called when my turn comes (at least, 700 ppl before me...). Most probably not before 9-10 months. Still, the doctor was pretty cool about it and says I shouldn't worry as I'm young and otherwise healthy. Just be wise and keep the low-fat, no alcohol diet. I say it can only be good to loose a few extra KGs :)

Juni - is back home and getting me into a healthier schedule. Next step will be to start jogging that we can both exercise.

Yoga classes - started a few this week, others only by mid-November. I really missed teaching!

NGO work - I'll start a new job on the 19th (fingers crossed, people!) in Lisbon. Part-time :) Such a perfect Universe...

Leisure - a trip to Douro, lovely, peaceful, yummy, wonderful!, 'Stardust' - ai, ai, to re-watch sometime(s), that's for sure, and 'The Secret' - makes so much sense! and now I'll put into practice consciously!
