Oooh, I can feel the workaholic kicking in. You would think that after a year of ‘project me’ and workaholic syndrome being the focal point for most of the year, that I would be able to tick it off the ‘unhealed’ list. Damn, it’s a bitch that traits, addictions or issues don’t just get erased from life after a good dose of attention. Sigh …
It’s an hour after the end of the working day and my stats are low, my blurb for the ‘project me’ media pack still isn’t done, my letter to my awesome sponsors has been sitting at the bottom of the screen for two days now, The Project Me Community is still flying stealth Continue reading

I can’t sit for very long, so writer’s block is not ideal at the moment. I don’t think it’s a block as much as a little bit of apathy and a lot of exhaustion. It’s hard to believe how exhausting it is to stay positive and keep focused. It’s also a little hectic having to fake so much of the attitude at the moment.
I’m bored out of my mind blogging about my progress and harping on about my back but the reality is that I am reminded of the situation I am in every moment of the day. If I am not in some sort of pain I am marveling at the fact that I have a few moments of total relief. Continue reading
Published November 3rd, 2010I sat down to blog at about 11pm last night and had one of the most important moments with myself. Sliding my chair back, I knew that I had done enough for one day and that this could wait. I’m at the most crucial time of my healing because I am off all the strong medication and am still able to write. Two little over the counter painkillers saw me through the day and I could feel the push to do more.
Yesterday was beyond words for me. Continue reading
Published October 22nd, 2010There is always the one thing that pushes for the final decision and the big announcement even though everyone around seems to know what the outcome is going to be. I have been mortified at the responses of my friends when I tell them that I am continuing to blog ‘project me’ on a daily basis for yet another year.
Clearly I was the last one to figure it out, but I’m still making the big decision as though it were up for serious contemplation. I have had enough time to think about it and contemplated many scenarios of the future of ‘project me the blog’ because the journey is never ending. Continue reading
Published October 19th, 2010Today was the second session of body stress release therapy and I woke up with three burning concerns. Insomnia, midnight starvation and where is the leaking spinal fluid now?
In my world those were my only concerns when I woke up. My most natural anticipation was making it through a day without a pain pill or being able to sit for a period of time without eventually having to deal with an increasingly painful nerve being pinched in my spine and traveling all the way down to my toes. Continue reading
Published October 7th, 2010It’s not only me freaking out about this questions. Can you believe that it’s been googled 53 million times. I kid you not … here’s proof: When is it going to rain?
Facebook and Twitter statuses have been teasing and taunting me all freaking day and the worst part is that some people in different parts of Joburg were boasting about dancing in the rain. I’m the dancing in the rain girl. Continue reading
Published July 20th, 2010I have just deleted all that I had planned to blog about and find myself with a blank canvas and a heading that I have no intention of changing. I had started to reminisce and list all of the events that have filled up the precious moments of ‘project me’ and even went as far as to link certain events for further reminiscing, but then I realised that I know my story well enough and so do my loyal followers.

4 CommentsPublished July 19th, 2010Firstly, my Greggie is sick and my natural mothering instincts are to molly coddle him and make sure that he does all the things within the collective to make sure he gets better. That would just be totally dumb considering we both know that he didn’t ‘catch’ flu and that manifested if from whatever is going on in that gorgeous physical body of his. So there’s no stopping him from doing anything he doesn’t want to do and the battle was won at about lunch time when I left him in capable hands of a dear friend and toddled on home. Continue reading
Published May 18th, 2010Even though I’ve got a dear friend who’s helped me prep for this afternoon’s tattoo and I’m more than a thousand percent sure that I want this beautiful piece of art that is symbolic and permanent … I can’t help but admit that yesterday was consumed with the distracting fears of the needle.
Text Guy thinks I’ll chicken out just before and Mr Big was surprisingly impressed that I was following through. Little did he know that something he said was the final confirmation that I was born to have this tattoo. Continue reading
Published May 17th, 2010From the humble beginnings of forcing myself to go to gym and not exactly enjoying much of it, I have become one of those people who schedules my plans around squats, lungs and bicep curls. No matter how busy the weekend, it has become my tradition to begin my Saturday and Sunday with a heart pumping workout.
I do leg training (or let’s say I did) on a Saturday and then back to upper body on Sunday, but after not really being able to get past one step of cardio without the muscles of my legs screaming ‘bite me’ … I’ve decided to mix it up a little. Let’s do upper on Saturday, legs on a Sunday on give the poor things a break until I go for my middle of the week session. I know I’m supposed to be goalless … but I’ve gotto be a little logical too. The purpose of project me is fun … and damn straight that I’m finally having it at gym.
P stands for heart pump and a whole lot of pleasure! Continue reading
