Woohoo Deb! Congrats on 86 days smoke free! A reward is in order! And I smelled my roses this morning before I left for the airport! I love this time of year as everybody's roses are in bloom and they smell so wonderful! Thanks for reminding us to take some time and take in the wonderful aromas of nature!

Great job Cvdeb!

You've given yourself a priceless gift! Enjoy the benefits and don't forget to reward yourself well.............you certainly deserve it!

How are things working out with the house hunting?

Kelly, you and your children are beautiful! That is such a great picture of all of you. Thanks for checking on me. Thank you too Rock, Marvini, Moss, and Breanne (that's a great picture of you too!). It's nice to see people's faces. I love that.

I just realized this morning that I have passed the amount of days I had last time when I slipped. Last time, I had reached about 2 1/2 months when I went bonkers and smoked. This is the longest I've ever been smoke free! And closing in on 3 months! That feels SO good. I'm still waiting for the day when I don't have strong urges. They do still pop up. But they really are further and further apart..... and some days I don't think of smoking at all. Forgetting about smoking is actually a miracle to me. Who would have thought?

You are all so cool. Breathe deep and long today, and congratulate yourselves. Stop and smell some roses while you're at it. There's so much to be thankful for.

Deb, glad to hear you are doing a little bit better! I think we have twin noses. I can smell smoke on somebody a mile away too! Isn't it amazing how sensitive how sense of smell has become? Good news about house hunting! And that is really cool news that the house you grew up in is now for rent at a decent price! See, I told you there would be plenty of rainbows for you!

As for changing the price of cigs, you can do that under my profile. I need to update mine too!

I'm starting to feel a little better..... and have been very good about the resting thing. My eldest son just came home from college and he has been a Godsend. Love him.

I've also been househunting online. Fortunately, there's lots out there. Today, I even saw that the house I grew up in is for rent! That was a cool house and in my price range.

Yesterday one of my friends came to visit. She's a smoker still. She went outside to smoke, and I swear, I could smell the smoke in the house even though she was outside. My nose has become so sensitive to that smell and I hate that smell. And my nose might be even more sensitive at the moment because I'm still a bit sick.

The few times I've been out of the house, it has been to get groceries. People still seem to be buying cigarettes like crazy.... the new prices haven't seemed to slow many down. Speaking of that-- Mod's, is there a way to change the prices of cigarettes on our quit meters? I'd love to see a true accounting of what I'm really saving! Besides my life :)

Well-- enough of this slightly random post. Mainly I wanted to check in so I can continue to keep my nose clean.

xo's for you all.

Just checking in quickly. I'm so so sick! I'm hoping this is the peak day and that the antibiotics will really start kicking in. I was dumb to try and work and think I set myself back..... but was very good today. Slept a lot. Stayed off the phone.

Because I was resting a lot today, I started thinking about smoking personalities. We are a little bit of a rebellious lot which can serve us well in some situations. Makes for interesting personalities for sure. In other situations (like listening to people about how bad smoking is, or listening to your doctor), it doesn't serve us so well.

Going to eat a little bit, and back off to the couch. Thanks for listening and checking on me.
