Oh goodness, cable is out. Sooooooooo frustrating dealing with the company's repair system protocol. Yes, all the plugs & "self-help to do stuff" was already checked. I wanna talk to a human!
Oh my, the furnace is now making a loud, squeeky, horendous noise when it comes on. No warning. Geesh. What's next?
Oh no, landline (yup still have one!) is down. Tech gets nothing when she calls it; I get a busy signal. Specialist medical appointment scheduled over phone today. Yes, they have cell number but still ... will they call it instead?
Sis texting like crazy. Hubby at hospital again getting zapped a second time within 2 days for his A-Fib and of course she can't be with him in hospital setting. She's anxious enough now anyway for their upcoming scheduled Covid vaccine appointments.
When I was a smoker all these things happening in less than 24 hours would have sent me into a frenzy. Now, while tackling these issues I stayed calm and addressed each one one-at-a-time with logic and patience. I was able to be fully present to help solve them.
Smoking is no longer in my problem solving regimen. It never even crossed my mind. It wouldn't have solved any of the problems. Never has & never will for any of us.
Smoking is stupid. Once we recognize it's an addiction, admit we are an addict, and work a "Plan of Action" we can choose not to smoke over anything in our life. We get smarter than any 'ole nicotine addiction which only wants to maim or kill us and take our money & self-esteem away from us in the process.
Education and distance from smoking our last cigarette can change our perspective ... eventually. Make the change. Break the chains. You are worth it. Best Wishes.
