I Turn One!

You never really appreciate something until you've lost it. Or thought you did!

Some three days ago, I thought I lost my blog site! I cannot access it. Whenever I click on it, another site pulls up (a business site!). Alarmed, several blogging friends emailed me about it. I was clueless and had to spend some time reading through the help forums of blogger, before I finally came across a case that was similar to mine. It is called domain parking. Somebody illegally parked in my domain so when somebody tried to access my site, it pulled up a different site. I was tearful and frustrated. I thought I lost my site and my domain (thecraftista.com) for good. With Doods's help, we were able to claim my domain back. It wasn't easy. We had to let go of my old template and use one of blogger's classic templates, this means loosing all my widgets. Oh well, better that than loosing my posts! Whew, after I painstakingly installed my old template back, I slowly added the old buttons, and my blog was slowly restored to it's old look. I was up all night and only finished two hours ago! Tedious! I hope nobody has to go through what I went through. It's scary!

Today, is a scan day. To some blogger friends who have been around for awhile, you must've come across some posts that mentioned my scan days. It happens every three months. Today is special. Today, I turn one! My oncologist said, after the initial first year, I am good to go. The chance of recurrence lessens!  *sigh*  I really hope it's gone for good!  Results will be read on Tuesday.  *gulp*

These lovely flowers are my way of celebrating. Today, my scan turns one... I have been cancer-free for a year now!  So much to look forward to! Yay!
