And So It's Bye Bye 2009

As a general rule, I'm not too crazy about New Year's Eve. For most it's just about their favourite night of the year. For me it just represents 2 things: an end and change ... 2 of the things I hate most. While everyone else is holding up champagne glasses and counting down from 10, I'm forcing a smile and wishing it wouldn't have to be over.

No champagne glasses for me this year. My better half is sick so we'll have a quiet one at home. Hope it's not a sign of things to come in 2010.

Truth be told, I wasn't too upset this year. 2009 hasn't been anything to write home about .. but then one fine day I realised I'll never get to write 00 in the middle of a year again, and that was enough to change the feeling about it.

So now it's bye bye 2009 .. maybe you weren't that bad after all.

2009 So Far!

Uh, yeah so I forgot about this again! Or rather couldn't be bothered to write anything.

So .. 2009 so far .. I can't believe we're almost halfway through already. I didn't want 2008 to end cause it was a good one.

I spent most of 2009 in a feverish, influenzified, allergic & asthmatic mess .. not to mention that my right knee was out for the best part of 3 weeks.

On the other hand, I've been happy on the whole so that's something .. and things are looking up. I can run again and I've had 3 nights in a row without waking up to breathe.

So my vote: Good & getting better .. bring on the rest of the year!!
