Still not smoking and insomnia abating!

So, I am still not smoking, and I am actually having a difficult time keeping up with how many days I've been smoke free. I just now went to look at my QuitKeeper counter and I deleted it or something. So, I'm still a bit of a dingy broad, but I am sleeping better and at more normal hours. I am also feeling calmer. I had no incidents of angry or sad feelings today, so I'm happy about that. I do expect to ride that emotional roller coaster again in the first few months, but I'm prepared for it.

It's been a quiet lazy Sunday for me. I've been watching Stephen King's The Stand. I remember reading that book in one sitting in 1980. It was the first Stephen King book I ever read, and I became hooked on his writing. Anyway, that's what's going on here. Not much. Feeling OK. Hardly any cravings. Boring probably...sorry. I'll try to have a more exciting day tomorrow to report. Hope everyone has a great smoke free night!

Quick note: I tried to redownload the QuitKeeper, but my antivirus software ID'd it as malicious, so I'll try to get another one. Day 28 today, BTW.

I'm on an emotional roller coaster today...ugh.

This morning, I went to my Mom's house to take her to the hair salon, and I was all over the map emotionally. She pushes my buttons like no one else. I got mad at her and then got a bit weepy. All of a sudden we brushed it all aside and we were OK. My emotions are all over the map. I had warned her when I first walked in that I was feeling bitchy.

Anyway, we wound up having a good afternoon. We had crab cakes over salad for lunch and ate at the salon. I just walked to the restaurant and got the lunches to go. Delicious!

Now I am back home. I was feeling really weird and shaky, so I took my blood sugar, and it was 75. That's a bit low for me. I had a small handful of some walnut fruit nut mix and I am enjoying a small Coke over ice. What a treat to have a real Coke. I had to get my blood sugar back up and fast.

I'm hoping I'll be better emotionally as the day wears on. I already feel better, but Lord knows when my hormones will whack out or amino acids or whatever. Still not smoking, feeling shaky, so I'm signing off.

Hope everyone has a nice smoke free weekend! Peace!

Quick update today on my Chantix blog

Took Mom to the accountant with tax papers yesterday. It was amazingly stress free. I did want a ciggie really bad when I got home, but I took the dog for a long walk instead. That did the trick. Still have insomnia really bad, but my waking hours are not affected. I can still function. I found a counter. Check it out!

I have been quit for 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 12 hours and 5 minutes (23 days). I have saved $205.65 by not smoking 822 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Days, 20 hours and 30 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 3/8/2011 11:00 PM

Today is actually the start of day 24, so it hasn't counted it yet. It's a bit confusing, but it's neat to see those numbers.
Gotta take Mom to the hair salon today. Hopefully, it will be another pleasant day with her. Keep your fingers crossed for me, and I hope everyone has a stress free day today.
