I QUIT!!

Dear Cigarettes,
I'm quitting you. For good this time; I swear. I've had enough of your controlling stinky ways. You are not going to tell me when to go outside anymore or where I can or can't go or how to smell or how to reach for you during periods of boredom or crisis. Yes it's been a long lasting relationship; are you aware it's been 26 years to be exact? During that time you've been abusing my body and my psych with your manipulative hold on me. I'm ready to be healthy without you and that's all I've got to say about it.

so not yours anymore,
Mel

This was the Dear John letter I sent my crutch three months ago. YES! Hooray for me! I've been smoke free for three months and counting. :)

Hmmm?

  What do you do when you can't sleep? I guess you do decide to stop pretending you don't have a blog. This waking up at 3am sucks.Can't figure out if I need to tweek the anti-depressant or if it's just stupid peri-menopause. Right now I sure wish I had opted for a full hysterectomy instead of a partial. At least then I would be able to eliminate one of those.
  We survived the blizzard of 2011. It was very cool to watch it from the safety of indoors. I feel bad for anyone who had to be out in that mess when it was at it's peak. The snow started coming down pretty heavy around 2pm on Tuesday. By about 6pm it became a whiteout. I couldn't see the houses across the street. School wasn't canceled Tuesday so the kids had to ride the bus home just as it was getting nasty. I kept mine home because I didn't want to risk it. The whole families been home since then and I'm kinda glad the weekly routine will be on for Friday at least. I don't mind having everyone around but since I've stopped working I really do enjoy those times when I have the house all to myself.
  I finished sewing another handbag for A. The one I made her for Christmas got stolen >:( . How rude!!right? I just had enough cupcake fabric to make it. It's smaller than the first but at least it's the same yummy fabric. Okay, I better try to get a few hours of sleep before I have to get my kid on the bus.
