In order to remind myself why I quit smoking - I get this email every morning with a tally of the benefits....So, today is the start of day 8...So far so good, I have to admit, just being able to ramble on in a journal about the whole ordeal is really good....
I am still having the worst insomnia though...Last night I stayed up until about 3, complusively knitting socks - which were for my canadian boy - but now aren't for him...But then I did something I don't usually do, completely overslept and banged in to work today...I am in a part-time job (so I can finish school before I am 57) - so calling in makes me feel so guilty...I do get sick days, but I think I will pick up an extra day this week for penance...
What I don't understand is how nicotine is a stimulant and how lack of a stimulant is making me more awake...it just seems ass backwards to me...
Other than that - it's an amazingly nice day outside - which means I will head down to the beach for a walk with my son..then laundry and housecleaning...And then, tomorrow, ink! I am so excited and will have new ink pics to put up...I just hate the way it looks in progress, if he (my artist) and I could actually work for 12 hours straight I would, because I of course want it all done now..Then again, we have alot more than 12 hours left....so, those are my rambling thoughts for the moment. I have cut back on my use of the smilies...
Also, big hugs and kisses to everyone who has commented on "how old is to old" and people who have sent emails and comments to me about the smoking, etc. It is so much easier to deal with things when people are really supportive (of me being naked and not smoking!!)
