How to show cat. description only if it has text ? was created by Uldis

I'm using k2 template overrides and I have styled category descriptions, with 2 additional divs.

Problem is that some categories will not have description, I know I could turn off category option "Show cetegory description", but all categories inherit parameters from 1 category.

Would it be possible to specify something like ?
