My Daughter in California

Hi, my daughter is in San Jose, California and they are just outside the evacuation zone. I am terrified for them!!

I just want them to come home.  I guess that's just being a MOM, so worried.  I also have been sick for 2 weeks.  Just a sore throat.  My own Dr. was booked up until September 30th.  I think it's time to switch Dr.'s.  I finally got up the courage today and drove across town to a Walk-in clinic, and the Dr. gave me some strong antibiotics.

Smoking was thought of today.  I have been self-isolating here at home.  I managed to get through the day without smoking.  So many others here have been through so much and didn't smoke, so why should I?  I didn't change my patch today, and the cravings have been bearable, so maybe it's time to get off of it.

If you are a praying person please pray for my daughter and family or send some positive thoughts.

Dale, how are things where you are?  I'm worried about you too!

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
