A month ago I wrote about my mother's avocado tree. I said that last year was a big harvest and that this year we wouldn't be so lucky, remember? It turns out I was utterly and completely wrong. The neighbour who always helps us came over to harvest them. He climbed up the tree and discovered that most of the avocadoes were way above the roof. The tree was full of fruit, but we couldn't see them.

I can't believe I began this blog one year ago today, not knowing exactly what I was doing or if I would succeed. One year later, I'm happy to say that the journey has been amazing and I'd do it all over again. At first, I thought I'd bake a cake or something to celebrate this blog's birthday, but I remembered I'm a terrible baker and didn't feel like experimenting. Instead of a cake, this post will feature an account of what has happened during this year.

Timing couldn't be worse when my lower back decided it was sick and tired of my bad posture. For the past week and a half I've suffered a severe case of low back pain, which wouldn't allow me to sit for more than 15 minutes. After an unhealthy dose of pain killers and some physical therapy, I'm now able to sit for at least 30 minutes at a time.
