Quitting Smoking Day 1

Well it didn't happen yet. Still smoking but I did start my prescription of Chantix. So hopefully I will be smokefree in a few weeks. They say the side effects can cause you to have weird dreams.... But hell I had them when I quit smoking before so we will see. Besides I live with Tom and the dog, weird dreams and weird real life is the norm here.

I was peacefully sleeping when Tom woke me up because he needed a raw potato for his eyes. Seems he was welding again without that helmet on. Or for some reason he got welder's burn. Of course I didn't have any and had to walk to the store to get one. Now an hour later he's sleeping like a snoring baby, and I'm wide awake...

I went to the Dr's today. Gotta love small town doctors. I got my prescription to quit smoking, told him I thought I was a dietabetic, thought I would be getting a prescription for that too, but instead he said I was doing well without it - and to check back in a few weeks and update him on my progress....

HUH? that's it... your not going to give me information on it? set me up with a nutrition doctor? give me a blood test to see if I was telling you the truth? WTF...... I do need to go for blood work. Seems they don't do it in the office. You have to go to the Lab at the hospital. Which I will do Saturday Morning. The lab there is open 24/7. The Doctor office was a downstairs of an old house, they had exam rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor. They even gave someone a flu shot in the waiting room while I was waiting to see the doctor.... I didn't see the horse and buggy outside but I bet there was one for when he had to go on a house call.

The scale to weigh me on was a bathroom scale, they didn't take my tempature, they did take my blood pressure... I guess I am used to modern doctors that get all your vitals when you go in to visit. They do the blood work right there in the office... Hell my last doctor even had an x-ray machine there to take x-rays.

But I did get the prescription that I asked for. Thankfully I did my research before I went in, cause he didn't ask me any questions about my background, or health. The good news is I lost 27 pounds since Sept. I have been walking daily with a girl that I work with.

Tom got new glasses yesterday. He can finally see again. He broke his glasses about a week ago, and had to wear his old glasses that didn't have bi-focals. Of course somehow it ended up being my fault he broke them (?).. go figure,

He wasn't happy that he had to go to work today and I had the day off cause of Veterns day. But him and boodles left at their usual time. At least he didn't try to stick me with the dog today.

COOL PICTURE:

Some things you just couldn't make up on your own....

When we walk, we go past this store. Yes this is inside the building attached to the wall. It wasn't from a wreck, but done on purpose. Guess its for a tailgate party????? Not a clue why it is there, but it's pretty cool looking I guess.
