No trip to Florida so relieved now.

Hi my friends.  I was supposed to be going to Florida to meet up with two widow girlfriends.  We were going to be the three musketeers, and hang out at the pool, and go out for dinner and shopping, and just generally chilling out together.  Would have been the first time I've met them.  I met them online many years ago, they both stopped smoking.  One for 15 years the other has 4 years now!!  Trouble is I have an aneurysm in my brain, and if it ruptures and I go to see my American friends my health insurance won't cover me.  So rather than gamble that way, I'm staying here until this matter is resolved.   So I'm looking forward to Halloween and all the little trick or treaters too!  I've also got money to spend on the kids for Christmas.   I'm just hoping to make my 65th Birthday in March, cause you see I'm only 40 years old in my head.  lol.  But if I go, it would be sudden I hope!!  But by God I'm a fighter, and I don't give up, not even on the quit even tho, I've had great difficulty with it.  So now I'm going to enjoy Halloween and Christmas and just keep working to be free of nicotine.  I've had so much anxieties about going away when not well, and now I'm not, so I'm relieved!!

I go for blood tests next week, and a CT angiogram November 7th and then I'll know more about what's expected.

Keeping quit today, and going to my sister's tonight for dinner.  Many blessings to all of you, my friends,  It's all good, you can either be positive or negative.  I'm positive that God wants me around to be a ripe old 80 years old!!

By the way please say a prayer for the Californians who are having their houses ravaged by fire.  My daughter is there and grandson and son-in-law.  They will be without power again for 3 days.  Dale, are you ok where you are?

xoxo everyone, Chrissy as usual.  by the way Larry thanks for guiding the way for all of us!!

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.
