Yes, they like to sleep with me, and I like it too. That is the thing about smoking. Always the stress of the next fix. Sometimes planning while still having one! Ugh. It creates so much stress really. Yes, be glad to not do this.

I just got back from my walk. It is definitely Fall weather and chilly. 

My Stepson is good! He lives in Seattle, so I don’t see him all the time, but usually once a month or so. We are quite close. His dad, my daughter’s dad, lives here in Portland. I don’t see him much either. Actually the last couple of years since my daughter is older I don’t. I’m ok with that. 
Do you have classes in person too or not because of Covid?

No Lorie, we have online classes in Microsoft Teams. And occasionaly we must visit the college for certain subjects as we need computer servers as networking students.i am so proud of you Lorie. You are indeed a strong women.keep up the good work. I hope you had a better sleep?are you going to the Vet today? How is your kittens?

Good morning Joel!!!

HAPPY 30 Days! 

Im glad to hear your classes are like this. It is safer right now. No, we don’t need to go to the vet, but we do have to give him some IV fluids. The vet taught us how to do this before and my daughter is good with it. Me not so much, so maybe I’m not so strong as you think! Haha!
I have a work thing to go to this afternoon and won’t be back till later. I hope your day is just the best and that you are very proud of yourself! You should be!!!

Thankyou Lorie.. Its one month smoke free... Long way to go. I am so happy you remembers my quit date. That means a lot to me. Love you so much.

How are you today?

Are you concerned about Covid?

Hi Lorie, i just watched the 1st episode of Kims conveniance. Its worth laughing.Not much thrills and suspenses.. Its so funny that Kims giving 15%discount to the gay and his ability to understand people who just pretends to be gay to catch the discounts

Hi Joel!

Right, not much suspense. But very funny! It will build some drama as it goes too, but I do t want to spoil. It is one of those fun shows that just makes you relax and not have a heavy heart. I love the mom! I love how she handles the dad.. Watch a few and let me know your thoughts. You will have many laughs I think at least.

Yes...I am concerned about Covid. I think we all should be. Largely, most people do ok.  And the death rate has gone down as we learn more. Still, it is more deadly than influenza for sure. And much more unpredictable. That is the thing; the unpredictability. There are a lot of things we see now in people that had it a few months ago. Trouble with blood clots and all kinds of stuff. There are possibly some long term mental effects and chronic fatigue. I think the most scary thing, like I said in another post, is you can have an 80 year old do ok, and a 30 year old die or go on a ventilator. Plus here, there are a lot of added unexpected medical expenses. Our health care system is abominable for the nation we are and is largely built solely on profit for insurance companies. I will leave it at that as I don’t want to start a political argument here with anyone for sure, but suffice it to say, our system is broken. I will add, I do not know the answers to fixing it. It is a very complex problem! 
Kitty is doing better today, yay! This makes me happy. 
How many days do you work a week? So it is hard still to see people go out for smoke breaks? Well, celebrate that you do not need to do this! You can actually relax for real and feel peaceful. So nice, right?

Just two days a week Lorie, and they are night shifts too :D. I like it. I dont want to sit idle.It covers my expenses too. Today i got enrolled for full time French classes. I will start my classes by Mid-November. Its online too. Covid  completely took over the lifestyle of students and children. I really dont support online classes. But  for the timebeing, there are no other options.Two days of work and two days of classes makes me well engaged.

Yes, there is not a common pattern for victims dieing due to Covid. Almost everyone are vulnerable that makes it more difficult to handle and no one really knows the side effects of the vaccines that are developed without being time tested.A complex problem for sure.

I do enjoy all shows but suspense, thrillers are my favorite.i know movies are not real life, i see horror but i am completely sure its someones imagination and it cant be true in real life.When i say horror, its not some evil entities luring for blood, its more soft and makes us think.Have you seen the movie "the others" by Nicole Kidman. Its my favorite when it comes to horror.i definitely recommend you to see this. It wont give you a heart attack like the conjuring series.When it comes to thrillers, my favorites are seven, silence of the lambs.. The list goes so long. I really like spanish crime thrillers too. They really have great stories.Sometimes, my orientation towards the genres may change as i get older.Nowadays its hard to find shows with good plot or stories. Kims conveniance is really good!so funny. I do like funny stuff too.i am watching the complete series. Deal. And i need you to watch the others.. Ok? Tell me how you felt.

No Lorie, its not hard now to see people rushing for smoking. Getting comfortable. I know, from my last experience, there will be crossing of wires, but these tests are moulding me to success, right?

Hi Lorie, how are you today?i hope you are enjoying the day.i am so happy for you Lorie. You are a great support to everyone coming here. I was just reading Lukes forum. He is doing a pretty good job right? I have an illustrative pdf of Alan Car. It really did a great job. I dont know if people are aware of that book. Its a book of 17 mb i tried to upload but its not as the forum has limitations. As for me helping others is increasing my confidence and reinforces my quit resolution. Its a wonderful feeling. Helping one quit smoking.
