Ok, I'm better...

I just finished re-reading "The Easy Way to Quit", start to finish.  And I'm going to be fine tomorrow when I quit.  In fact, I'm going to be a whole lot better, because I've got my positive attitude back.  I'm going to run around all day tomorrow, yelling "Yippee!  I'm a NON-SMOKER!!"  Actually, that'll just have to be in my head, because I'm flying a very long day tomorrow and that would probably frighten the passengers!  😉  I'm working from DC to San Fran and then on to Seattle, where my wonderful boyfriend is flying to meet me and help me celebrate my FREEDOM.  (I was going to say "help oach me through the 28 hour layover".  Two things wrong with that sentence, though.  First, he would only have to coach me if I was depriving myself of something good, right?  Second, it's not 28 hours, it's the rest of my life!  He told me today that he has planned out the time in Seattle so that I won't have a moment of down time, but it's all a surprise for me so I have that to be excited about also.  Okay, so I won't run up and down the airplane aisle yelling, but I AM going to wear a button on my uniform that says "I quit smoking today.  Congratulate me!"  It'll be fun to see how many passengers actually say something to me.  Okay, it's starting to get dark and I have to get busy breaking down my patio smoking station...  Thank you for all the encouragement.  And I will report back to you tomorrow...  YIPPEEE!

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
