So here's the deal....

Since they are making it impossible to have a cigarette during working hours, I am going to give it my best shot at quitting! I will, of course, have a nicotine aid of some sort. I don't want to work somewhere else!!!! I have smoked for almost 34 yrs. That's about 2/3 of my life. All I ask is that people PLEASE have patience with me and in return, I PROMISE to do my best not to be a B-I-T-C-H (see? I spelled that....I didn't say it)!! It will be a very hard adjustment for myself and anyone who knows me and please.....if I slip a little....don't say anything because I really don't like snapping at people I love! Thank you for your support!

Who are you?

This is SO True!!!

I miss my daughter.........

My son is here. It's so great to see him! We were able to introduce him to our good friends tonight. We had a great time, WONDERFUL dinner cooked by my husband! My son played piano. We chatted. It was a lot of fun. I had told them to bring along any of their family who was interested. I guess they were all busy but.... no worries! We had a wonderful evening! I really would hope to have a BBQ with our families next summer. Hope they will think about it. I think we could all have a lot of fun and really get to know each other!

Better than a patch!

Well... I've actually spent a lot of time crocheting lately. Trying to come up with the perfect hat for my friend's granddaughter. One that is not too big for her...LOL! I haven't crocheted in a long time.....and that was dolls. Cute dolls. I made 14 million (seemed like it anyway) of those while I spent time on bedrest. I made one a couple of years ago for a Christmas party. Other than that one, I hadn't made one in about 25 years. It sure helps me NOT smoke. That's good, right? Ahhhhh what a vice. Anyways, I have found this to be quite relaxing so, I think I'll get back into it!

The Good Old Flu

Well....I got the flu shot (not my idea....they made me at work). I have had it 2 times before. 11 yrs and 10 yrs ago. Both times, I got the flu. They say you cannot get the flu from it because it is a dead virus. Funny thing, I haven't had the flu in 10 yrs....since the last flu shot. So this year, I got the flu shot and guess what! I got the flu which in turn, progressed to pneumonia. I do not think people should be forced to have something they don't want. OK....well.....not exactly forced. Kind of coerced. If you didn't get the shot, you had to wear a mask for you entire shift for 6 months. I can barely get through a c-section with a mask on (an hour or so)! However, if they do this again next year, I think I'll choose the mask!

and now.....
