Rock around the clock .....

Good morning .. let's twist and shout ... you'll have to forgive the blog this morning ... let's twist again ... as I've got the songs from last night ... here I am with my everlasting love ... in my head and they just won't go away ...Pamela, Pamela, remember the days ... and it's so annoying because I can not ... love potion number 9 ... write my blog because they are going ... needles and pins yeah ... around and ar ... my mama yeah my mama ... and around and I will have to ... no, no more and no that's not a song that's me talking to myself! ... try and ignore and concentrate, yeah, that's better concentrate.

Now, we'll try again. Good morning everyone! What a beautiful day I don't think as we have about 3" or maybe 4" snow and it's still snowing and it's blowing a gale but what the heck, I have the delight of going to work - one of the down sides of living within walking distance - and also of letting you know that it was one hell of a concert and we both really, really enjoyed it and got there and back safely with no snow in sight ... until now! Started snowing about 2 am and it hasn't stopped since!

If you're into 60's music and/or rock and roll you will know exactly what I mean when I say brilliant and if you aren't, you don't know what you're missing!

Right, having just used my fingers to count up, the news is I haven't enough fingers and thumbs to count up the days I haven 't smoked! Yippee! 11 - ELEVEN - whole. super duper days without one of those 'things/sticks/crutch' being put between my lips as Victor Meldrew would say "I don't believe it!" Well, believe it! Take note my friends, yes every single one of you, because it is all down to you - each and every one of you - as without you, I wouldn't have got to the end of day 1 let alone into double figures! I do feel better for not partaking of the weed - honest I do, I do, - wouldn't nay couldn't lie to you and, touch wood, since desisting/resisting, have only had one attack of my illness/disease and that was in the first couple of hours of day 1. Haven't had one since and although I do take tablets to (try to) control I really do think that not smoking has been the biggest help and I shall keep telling myself that when I feel either just tempted or sorely tempted!

It's it funny/strange that things that you do on a daily basis become part of your routine. Since finding this site and learning how to blog, I haven't shut up (sorry but at least you can in a sense 'turn me off' by navigating away from the site - just bragging now - computer language - see you're never too old to learn!) and it really felt strange not putting a little (well not that big) piece up last night but hopefully, for those of you with withdrawal symptoms, this will tide you over until tonight (yep, you've guessed it folks, I'm working on tonights' (long) story already!).

Just think people, if we could sleep 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (366 in a leap year) none of us would ever, ever smoke again. In fact we would save an absolute fortune as we wouldn't be eating either so no cakes, no chocolate, no frozen grapes (for those who are goody two shoes sometimes!), so perhaps constant sleeping to give up smoking is a bad idea cos I don't know about you but I love to eat!!

Still blowing and snowing here so I better get a move on and start getting ready for the walk to work. Short day today - with luck and the weather it may be even shorter than normal (well one lives in hope and can dream a nice dream even in daytime!) so, hoping you all have a good, if not excellent and craving free day (and remember together we are so strong that we are invincible!). Speak to you all tonight.

Take care whether your weather is good or bad.

Tell me about grandchildren I have 6 and although I wouldn't be without them they are expensive. We look after two of them whilst my daughter works and days out are expensive. Dawn - I had a good reading 1 whilst gives you a boost to keep going. Marked off 1 week on my phone for Monday and then 2 and 3 hope that is not tempting fate. Off for treatment now, only two more to go. Take care everyone and keep smiling :)
