I don't have many dreary days, but gosh this one is   Monday is usually MY FUN day.  The weather did not permit  me to be in the yard as I had planned.  Therefore, I went to my knitting circle, boring.  I explained that the weather hindered me from my plans. They were disappointed that they came in second place. Knowing me, really?  Afterwards, on the way home I did my usual stop to the grocery store.  I purchased the strawberries and roman tomatoes  on sale, 2 pkgs for the price of one and a few other needed items. What a deal.  Thought it would be nice to give the extra to my sister.

I dropped by my sisters but she did not answer the door, call out, etc.  Notice my other sisters car there, strange.  Remembered she had a doctors appointment. Left the bag hanging on porch rail.  Found out later they were there but did not hear me. 

The wind has picked up and the temperature had dropped  there is no chance of doing anything outdoors.  

Gosh I am really bored, even with so much around me to do inside. Yuck.  Boredom is/has/was/can be an EXcuse to smoke.  I say EXcuse because I have learned there is no reason, just EXcuses to smoke.  However, smoking is no longer an option for me.  Even if I don't do anything on my "to do" list smoking will not play a part  no matter what or how I feel . SINAO smoking is not an option.  It is no longer on the table. NOPE. It is no longer part of the equation. NOPE  It is no longer part of my makeup,NOPE my life has changed.   Right now I am bored and I accept that.This too shall pass. 

 Guess what!  I can always come to  EX 24/7  I can play, vent, discuss, comment, blog, anytime.. I don't have to use  boredom as an EXcuse to smoke.  If you are bored, come here read, study ,research, blog, play games.  I have lots of places I can go in the groups.   EX Weekends 2018 - Bahamas Cruise (EX6.1) and California (EX6.2)‌, my Gardening Lovers, Exercising and Health‌ and SINAO‌ I can even go to Newbie Quitters‌ to see what's happening and much more.

Scroll through https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/placesfilterID=all~objecttype~objecttype%5Bsocialgroup%5D  and see what is good for you.  See if there is a group that you would like to be a part of.  If it is not active rev it up.

I have sat here and typed this llittle blog and it appears that the sun is starting to shine. Amazing.  See you later.
