Week Three

September 6, 2007: 1 week, 6 days and 23 hours . . . but who's counting? Worrying (already!) about quitting the prescription in 9 weeks, I have started cutting my second, evening, pill in half just to see if I am okay with that. I have only taken half the second dose for three days now and have noticed no difference. Now I need to get my courage up to cut the morning pill in half.

It is fixing to storm here (I hope). The thunder rumbles closer and I see flashes of lightening off to the west. I am hoping for a good thunderstorm. Ah yes, here comes the rain.

September 10, 2007: have cut my morning pill in half the last two mornings so I am down to one pill, just divided into morning and evening. Last night, had a family thing come up and had to drive an hour and a half and, while driving, kept reminding myself that just a month ago, in the same situation, I would have been smoking every 30 minutes. So, I just sort of mourned the passing of the cigarette. Wasn't tempted to stop and buy any. Nothing like that.

We finally got a thunderstorm and a heavy downpour late this afternoon. I happened to be at Target so I shopped a little longer!

You'll be fine without those pill!
I really am so proud of you.

Erica, are you applaulding the rain or cutting the pills in half?

Kristy! you shop at Target?

This morning, I cut the morning pill in half; I did okay. And I survived my first "crisis" without a cigarette. Maybe I may breaking the habit.

Yes, I tried shopping at Target. Only found some greeting cards.
Normally, I can find a lot of stuff at Target. There's only 3 places I shop--Gordmans, Walmart and Target. Can you tell I'm a fashionista?
