I can't believe what I am about to write: today is my second bloggiversary. Or was it yesterday?  Mmm. At the moment it feels more like a "blah-geversary". As in, I am blah. I feel blah. The blog is blah. Blah-blah-blah. Never mind, add that second row of shiny bars to my epaullettes.

A few minor housekeeping items: I owe a bunch of people emails. I am also complete crap at commenting on other people's sites. I am sorry. I do apologise wholeheartedly for my appalling lack of responsiveness.  I think it has something to do with the fact that after endless hours at the computer at work, I simply don't seem to be able to face sitting down again for any length of time.  Particularly when the weather is half decent, as it has been. But not to worry, this being Scotland we shall soon be plunged into the perennial fog and mist and I shall once again feel like hibernating at my desk.

It also might be a good time for a wee reminder about what the dealio is with the Campfire links on the right hand side. I'm slightly slower than I used to be about seeking out new blogs (or at least ones I haven't heard of yet) but by all means e-mail me should you wish to take a turn round the convivial bonfire.  Marshmallows included. 

I suppose now would be a good time to write that post I have been thinking about for awhile; about the passage of time, and how in so many ways I seem to be standing still while others are continually moving on. Except, the aforesaid blaaaaaah.  And also, I realised today as I compiled another pile of documents for the mysterious Project Possibly that I am moving forward. Just very, very, very slowly. So! Let us, on this day, celebrate the snails' pace of change; for even though it may be teethgrittingly gradual, change there is. The right sort of change. And that can only be a good thing as far as I am concerned.

Happy blogoversary. We've lost too many friends from the blogosphere, I'm glad you're still here. I have been a lurker a lot lately too, I think it's just good to know there are people out there that care enough to check on me regularly.

I want to echo what others have said in that I am glad you are still around as I check in on you regularly and am always interested in what you have to say. It's been disappointing to me that some of our fellow bloggers who I thought had so much insight and wisdom to share (hard boiled...then wessel and scrambled eggs) have folded up their tents and gone away, at least temporarily.

Anniversaries are funny things. I'm about at the 2nd year mark in terms of my diagnosis although it took me quite a long time after that to venture into the blogosphere. In fact, I've only been actively on it in terms of my own blog for several months. I too feel as if I am standing still with nothing to show for anything while others move on to the other side. I am sorry that your change is slow. But I am glad to hear that it is in the right direction and that you are moving forward, whatever that specifically means.

Slow is okay. Even the snails made it to the ark.

Happy Blogiversary. I suck at replying to emails too (as you know). But I am so thankful you exist.
And hurray for Project Possibly.
