Today is freezing, I have no idea what the temperature is, but in my opinion it has to be below zero.  There is snow on the mountains and a have ear muffs on. Yes pink earmuffs. I am soo hungry to, have not a meal all day.  This is the kind of weather that makes you realize that you should have stayed in bed or called in sick, it is too cold to do anything.

I have a week left in Knysna, I leave next week and just the thought of leaving makes me very sad, I don’t want to go back to Pretoria, I will miss my family, I don’t want to feel alone and sad, but I guess there are some things in life that one has to do even if you really don’t want to.

 The things that are on my mind at the moment are:

Hot chocolate

Warm ski jackets and boots.

Hot water bottles, ( mine keeps going cold really quickly.)

Scarves

Blankets.

Basically anything warm

This kind of weather makes me think, if I feel the cold this much, and actually have the choice to stay  in bed, rather than exercise, imagine all the less fortunate people in the world, the people who don't have a bed, and have to try stay warm in a box. We should all be so grateful that we have a bed and a roof and can make hot chocolate and cuddle under a blanket. I think it is important to remember our blessings and give thanks that we have them. 

So now I think I will go and cuddle under a blanket, how about you?

back and ready to take anything on.

I know I know , it has been way to long since you have all heard from me.  I was under so much stress with University, but the first semester is over and I did really well, I have 3 distinctions and I feel more motivated now then ever.

At the moment I am on holiday in the beautiful garden route where I grew up, it feels so great being back home, it makes  me nervous to go back to the city and back to reality, but I know that it will all be worth it when I am living my dreams.

Winter in Gauteng is so brutal, I have never been so so cold, I have always loved dressing up and looking great when ever I go somewhere, but this winter I have never cared less with what I look like, track suit pants and heavy hoodies were my best friend. The strange thing with winter is like you have such a huge appetite and just don't care about exercise after a while, you just want to sleep and drink hot chocolate. I am proud to say that even though I just wanted to eat pasta and pizza and I stuck to my exercise and I didn't just eat anything. Willpower is so important when you want to stay fit and healthy, because no one else can make you do anything except yourself. 

Things that have changed since I have moved out and live alone, is the following:

Petrol is so expensive. Oh my word, can anyone say walk.

Making dinner ever night is so tiring and can just make you hate food.

Talking about food, another thing that is so expensive and milk and bread just seem to disappear after a while.

I hate doing the laundry and cleaning up.

Having look after myself is hard and being alone can be sad and depressing at times.

I miss not having to worry about things and I miss having my mom just around the corner.

But on a brighter note it is lovely being your own boss and being able to speak for yourself.

 I promise to try stay on top of blogging and I will keep you all updated on what is new in my life.
