Just feeling super down and paranoid right now

But we honestly thought the dear guy just had the flu... turns out he’s heading to the infectious disease hospital tomorrow—it's actually mononucleosis

And we were just making out, and now I feel like I can't even move or anything

Ugh, damn

Whatever
God bless America 👎

eve, mine was on a lease

so I rolled up to the dealership, picked out my ride, told them exactly what I wanted...

then two days later, I dropped off all the paperwork from my job...

after a little bit, they gave me a call and told me to head over to this notary office down the street...

I showed up, cut right to the front of the line, sat down, and signed everything...

then they called out my car info... I picked up the keys, sorted the paperwork, took the title down to Wells Fargo... and that was basically it

as for how much I'm paying, I honestly just track it through my quarterly bank statements 🙂

vividcobra46 said:I keep dreaming about it—like, I’m putting a cigarette in my mouth, pulling out matches (no clue where I even get them from in the dream), and lighting up. Then comes that very first puff of smoke 🙄
And then I just wake up with this huge grin on my face. 🙄

hahaha

Reading all your crazy dreams... man, I had one this morning too... I was definitely holding a cigarette in my mouth and watching a match flame get closer and closer... and then I suddenly wake up like, "Wait, what?! I don't even smoke!" Ugh, seriously? Way to go, me. 😁

I honestly think I might actually be done with smoking for good. 😉

So, yeah, I’ve totally quit 🙂

I was at this wedding on Saturday
And honestly, there was this one moment where I thought, "Man, maybe I could just light one up with the girls," but then, I don't know, the thought just kind of slipped my mind entirely 🙂

I really just popped in here to show some love and support to everyone else out there fighting the good fight against it 🙂

I quit 😁

How would I even know?

I don't exactly have the date of my last cigarette memorized, and I'm definitely not sitting here counting the days, hours, minutes, or seconds since then...

I just don't smoke anymore, period 🙂

Sending good vibes to everyone out there who's still struggling 🙂

Just wanted to clear the air and say I'm not Josh 🙂>

And honestly, I'm totally rooting for everyone out there giving it their all 🙂>

🙏

Man... chill out, don't go wild there 🙂

So, about three months ago, a colleague and I decided we were both gonna quit...
But honestly? I gave up after only three hours 😁 😁

And now look at me...

I'm counting down 12 days 🙂

Day 9 🙂

thanks Dyna.... I guess one morning I felt a little dizzy, but I didn't really connect it to quitting smoking at the time...

Anyway, now that you've cut back so much, maybe you should just quit for good🙂

8 days, fellas 🙂 8 days 😎 😉

Day 6 😁

Thanks for all the good vibes...

So, get this—some big-shot businessman swings by the office today, right? And I swear, the second he stepped through the door, I could totally smell smoke in the air. Like, just hit me immediately. I don't know, maybe it was just my imagination or something, but man, that scent was definitely there. 🙂 😁

It's happening... it's finally starting! 😁

mellowcanyon20 said:100😛

well, I guess I'm just cheering myself on a little bit here 😁 😁

nothing scary 😁

Day 5 🙂

it's finally over... 😁

Day 4

🙂

three days

Larry Lewis2 said:So, what did he actually tell you to do?

He suggested propolis, but like, the non-alcoholic kind, so I could just rub it right inside my mouth...

And he was like, "We just opened it up to let it drain, so you should be feeling better by tomorrow. If it doesn't calm down, though, we might have to go the antibiotic route."

Well, it actually calmed down! Like, by the second day, talking was still a little rough, but the swelling had already gone down by like half...

DZ BLACKWOOD

Dr. Drakulic...

He’s an older gentleman, and man, he has such incredibly gentle hands... 🙂

So, I went in the other day because I had this nasty inflamed patch of skin (even though my tooth was totally fine)... he cleaned it all out for me and gave me some advice on what to pick up at the drugstore that wasn't just a heavy antibiotic... anyway, by the second day, I was feeling pretty awesome🙂>

So, for two days now (and I mean, pay attention here, 😂 VECH 😁), I've been talking about how I'm gonna try my hardest not to light up

but I haven't...

even with all the heartfelt help and support from my inner circle 🙂

Thanks 👍

as for your lunch 🙂 I'm already working on gathering three more huge piles of stuff 😉

Simone said:Thank God! We were typing at the exact same time. That's gotta be telepathy, right?....🙂

thanks for checking in on me 🙂

I'm doing okay, I guess... just getting tired super easily and I really can't move my head much (which, honestly, is kind of hard lol) 😁

RD2D definitely has a way better range of motion than I do right now 😁

just waiting on my test results 🙂
