Day 105

[DonnaMarie]

I noticed I was putting day 104 on things and then realized it's day 105. I need to remember what day it is, right?

I  think I figured out why I've been perpetually grumpy lately. Sleep is never good. I'm sure it will get better, but I end up getting up in the middle of the night with shoulder pain and moving to the recliner downstairs. Therefore, I'm not getting a full night's sleep and I bet that's messing with my mood. I'm not going to let it get me down if I can avoid it. 16 more sling days ahead and need to make them work for me, not against me. 

On the smoking front, I'm still good. I see people asking about Allen Carr. I will always be an advocate for that book. It has helped me in the past up to the present. 

I'm exercising, mostly walking, every day to keep both things in check. I've started cooking again and am working on counting my blessings rather than counting the gray clouds that poke their heads out once in a while.

I'm thinking about Strudel‌ a lot and how I want for her healing and no pain. Here's your shout out, Kathy. I'm pulling for you.

One thing I like about EX is that there is never a shortage of new quitters. Here we are in a new month and I suspect we'll be meting new people. I can't wait to maybe help them cross into nonsmoker status.

Here's to us all, no matter what we're healing from.
