Big Daddy is happy. He has a soft bed, a kitchen, places to buy food that will not kill you, and me.
And I have someone to share the routine with, it is great.
We decided to quit smoking when BD got a new job. Then when everything went crazy he decided to quit smoking when he left China. So last Thursday on the way to bed I soaked the rest of the pack in water and tossed it. Sunday was day 3 and that is the worst day for me; not my first time at the rodeo. Today is much better and with the price of smokes I think there is less incentive to take up the habit again. That and it is just a hot button in so many ways.
Reasons I re-started smoking in the past: got fat-am now on thyroid meds, doctor told me I prolly had uterine cancer, had my back go out so bad I could barely walk when I had the worst IBS attacks of my life.
So now that I am joining the mainstream I need something to bitch about. All mainstreamers bitch. I already hate many things: other people's children, other people's fragrances, and most other people. I just need to pinpoint something I can carry on about and sniff into a hanky. I need hankies.

Oh, I got yer hankies.
ReplyDelete:-) Seriously. I must own 30 colorful, imaginative little squares. Even iron 'em, although that is a relatively new development.
Quitting smoking sucks. You need a good laugh...

Yep, that is why I am hoping to never do it again. Love the hankies, so southern.
DeleteWhen I quit smoking, I remember being rage-filled at everything at first. And I cried a lot. I just felt ... fragile.
ReplyDeleteI'd say, "Congratulations on quitting!" to you, or "Think of all the money you'll save!", but I remember that when I quit and someone would say something like that to me, I'd feel like punching them, so I'll keep quiet.
Your recent Blog on the money was helpful, I am not great at math and you gave me the numbers.
DeleteI loved smoking and only quit suddenly forever because I had pneumonia. I still get about one cigarette a week in second hand smoke (guessing) by going to the diner for my grilled chicken sandwich, at least I get that one cigarette for "free".
ReplyDeleteIf smoking was not harmful I would never quit. Loved it. But the expensive and harmful habit is just no longer for me. That and no smoking hassles just makes it not worth it.
