I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since I quit smoking. I know that sleep disturbance is part of quitting, but this is getting ridiculous. I have developed a twitch in one eye and the constant burn from being tired is getting really, really old. Enough already.

This sucks.

Remember that episode where Homer Simpson stops drinking booze for a month? There’s a scene with him shakily Xing off a day in red marker…that’s how I feel today.

Scott’s alarm didn’t go off, thank goodness. Instead a myriad of other sounds conspired to wake me up. The shower, cat scratching in the litter box, cat having a drink, MC moving in bed…I will assume this sensitivity will go away until then I’ll just question the point in quitting until I get enough coffee into my system that I can pass myself off as “awake”.

Oh and it’s snowing, I wasn’t expecting that this morning. And lucky us we’re going to get another snow storm next week…if you believe in weather forecasts…I don’t, I’m sure we’ll get a beautiful sunny day, because that’s what my Magic 8 Ball says.

Well here we are. Not bad so far, but really it’s early in the day so I’m guessing it will get worse through out the day. My friend Kate is coming over to keep me company later today…if I ask really, really nicely she may bring me a coffee from Timmy’s.

I have already tried my Thrive lozenge…so I can “lose the smoke, not the fire”…and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t taste like butt. I may have tried to suck too much of the nicotine out since I was starting to feel nauseous. So my choices appear to be….have really bad cravings or feel like vomiting. I haven’t decided which of two is worse yet. I am also waiting for my motorcycle to arrive. Apparently people who quit smoking all get a motorcycle…I would like a pink one please. Oh and a chicken…k?thx.bai.

Well my quit date has approached much more quickly than I thought. I go from being excited that it’s finally here and terrified that I won’t be able to do it. I have had some help in my preparations, but somehow I still don’t feel completely ready. Not sure what’s going on there.

So tomorrow will arrive and I anticipate quite a bit of crankiness on my part, so to my two support people I already apologize. If you know someone that is quitting and you’re wondering how to support them I would read this.

That’s all that’s really on my mind today, it’s just sitting there at the back of my mind niggling.
