I am sorry you had a bad day dg, is how we handle them that is important. I do hope the wind will turn your way and you will get some downwind soon.
The day has gained 40 minutes. We have had a very mild winter, a young rowan in my garden thinks it is spring and is started to blossom – I am not sure that is a good decision .
No smoking here.

Sorry for the double post but just had to share that the job is mine and it's MORE money than I thought. All the hospitals/clinics in this system are smoke free, so I'm really glad that's something I don't have to worry about.
Won't start working until about 2/10, but will find out more.
Heading to bed with a big smile on my face, and an enormous attitude of gratitude that you guys had faith in me when I didn't have it in myself. Going on day 9 and a cig is the LAST thing I want.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Congrats Amy 
No smokes for me - it is not often I miss it anymore.
Quite a whether we have hear, we have cold coming from the east and mild and most winds from the Atlantic. The end result is somewhere between melted snow or cold rain …
I will pull myself together and go for a run and a short swim at the beach – I need to clear my mind before the week-end.

I have to admit, it's been a roller-coaster kind of day. On top of the world about the job, got the results from the GBI on my stepmom's autopsy. Death due to toxic doses of several medications (not at one time, or it would be suicide).
She was prescribed 3 benzos, had 3 in her system. One of them, SHE didn't have an Rx for but I do (very low dose, I do NOT abuse, but can't sleep without it). I don't know why it bothers me, but it does. She often stole my meds, I stole some of hers one time, way back when.
So, I'm up and I'm down. I cry, I get angry, I feel like I'm on a ride at the fair. I have to admit - not once, have I thought about smoking a cig.
Most of you probably don't know, but I spent a few decades as a codie, always wanting to make everyone else feel better. Not being able to do that turned me into "feel good stuff" along with a major cigarette habit.
Not going there any more. I'm on day 8 or 9, doesn't really matter, because I am NOT smoking.
I am blessed by all of you, as well as others here at SR. All I want it to do right, make my mama (in Heaven) and HP and dad proud of me. I want to feel good about me, and that is NOT going to happen if I smell like smoke
Sorry for the novel, just an emotional day, but there are several cigs in the ashtray that I could get a puff or two off of, and I'm about to dump them out. The very thought seems just gross to me.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Stay in their Amy.
My youngest son has stopped smoking – well stopped yesterday, we will see how it goes for him. I have only seen him smoke a couple of times, he does not do that in front of me. He finds it unpleasant to do in front of his parents – a little strange.

Soberhawk - I was smoking for quite a while before I admitted it to my parents (BOTH smokers). My dad said "you're a damned fool" but I kept smoking.
He's one of those reformed smokers who drives me crazy. He changed his nicotine addiction into a food one and it's seriously damaging his health (he's 74). He won't listen to me or his dr.
I just heard from my former client's wife who's grandson has cystic fibrosis. He got the flue from years ago, has been in ICU. I adore him, he's such a great kid. I told her to tell him HE is who I think of when I think of smoking - he works hard for every breath, and who am I to take a breath for granted. His name is Nick, and he's awesome
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

I've been having cravings, but have been distracting myself and so far it's worked. About to start doing more repainting and stuff around here, so signing up for another 24!
First time this house hasn't had someone smoking in it for decades!
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
