Okay, so you know I have been doing this quit smoking thing. Today was the the second day, for me, not smoking. I feel pretty good about my accomplishment. Yeah, I know it has only been 2 days. But, if you have every quit smoking or if you are a smoker than you know what I am talking about.
2 days is an accomplishment! So, I have been using the transdermal patches. They actually work. The program is set up in the 3 stages. If you are a heavy smoker (in which I didn't think I was) you start with the strongest patch (21mg). You use the 21mg patch for 2 weeks (1 a day). Then for 2 weeks a 14mg patch and then for one week a 7mg patch. After you use all the patches you are supposed to be cigarette free. Well today I had noticed that toward the end of the day my cravings were getting a little stronger. I thought to myself do I need to use one of the 7mg patches in the evening to help the now weaker 21mg patch. I decided that wasn't the thing to do. I would just have to use my willpower to get through the evening and fall asleep fast. Tomorrow is day 3. I have some reservations though. I tend to get bored at my job. I have noticed in the past that I smoke more when I am bored. But, I know if I can make it through the remainder of the week. I will be free of this addiction and on to a healthier life style. Wish me luck!
What's going on, seems to be the question everyone in the nation is asking when it comes to the state of Indiana. The guy above is Gov. Mike Pence and he signed into law SB101 The Religious Freedom Restoration Act that legalized discrimination against the citizens of Indiana, namely, the LGBT population. But, after a corporate and social backlash, like no other, he pushed and signed an amendment stating that gays and lesbians could not be discriminated against. Problem is, this only protects counties where gays and lesbians are a protected minority class. Corporate giants like Salesforce INC and Angie's List threatened to halt growth, in the state, if this bill wasn't fixed.
I was so mad today because I dressed too warmly to go to work. And when I get outside it is almost short weather. Since, I was already running behind I didn't have time to run in a change my outfit for today. I had to go to work looking like the last black eskimo. I think the weather men fooled me or I just didn't look at the weather or something. But, I am sure it isn't my fault. I then ran into the confused cashier that always overcharges or gives me the wrong thing when I swing into the gas station. Both stories and more on this mini-sode of
