Nothin' really

For my anonymous poster who had quit smoking and is probably on his 5th or 6th day. Here are two thoughts I have that help keep me from smoking:

1. Part of the horrible feelings of withdrawal, the dizziness and the nausea and the non ability to concentrate? Those are actually symptoms of oxygen flooding your brain. You are feeling bad because you are getting the oxygen your brain needs. That’s kind of a scary thought, that you’ve been living so long without that lovely oxygen.
2. You may gain weight, but it would take 100lbs to mimic how horrible smoking is. That’s a lot of pounds.

That oxygen thing really creeps me out and definitely helps with my motivation. That is just so bad. Oxygen made me sick. Weird.

Oh, let me just mention a quick tribute to a fat cat.

My lovely and fat cat Domino died a year ago. Beginning of the downward spiral! She was a wonderful kitty (to me) she was kind (to me) and warm (to me) and made everyone (me) happy.

I miss her at the strangest times, when it’s cold and I’m headed home and have the quick thought that she can come sit on me and warm me up. Sometimes I’ll still find her little hairs around. I miss her mass most of all. Sitting on me somewhere. I hope she’s having a lovely time in mean kitty heaven. I miss you kitty.
