Day 18 with champix. today was not as go ...

Day 18 with champix. today was not as good a day as yesterday. smoked more. wonder why that is? tomorrow will be a better day, tho, i can feel it. i had some of those 'vivid' dreams that have been talked about.....gawd awful. see, i have bad dreams often anyway, usually awaken stressed, until i figure out it was a dream. the dreams i had last night, and today at nap time, well, they were totally off the wall. holy man, glad they were just dreams.

wonder how tq is doing on is w/end away? and go see zoe and wish her congratulations on her full week of non smokerness. tell her poet sent you !

we are taking care of the kids' dog the weekend. Murphy is a nearly 3 yr old shepherd/husky mix. he is adorable and he loves Kane. they eventually settled down last night (i mean 130am), and today we spent 2 hours at the dog park in the hopes of getting them tuckered out. it sort of worked. they are eating each other's dog food, and well, we got them each a 'busy bone' tonight. they are much quieter. i must say, however, murphy's farts are much worse than kane's.
kids will be back from halifax tomorrow night. we also went over to their place to spend some time with the other 2 furbabies, oscar and bj. oscar is a 5 yr old guinea pig, and bj is a 2 yr old cat. we had a great time with them, just holding and cuddling. made sure their water and food were all topped up, and everything is great over there.

next week, we have to get focused on a routine. that is, k has to get back to her transcribing, so that she can finish her course, and look for a job, and me, i have to get settled into a good routine of working on my own course. after all, i have taken a long enough break, the last few months have been pretty stressful, and now things are falling into place.

we also have to resume our cleaning project. that needs to be a priority along with our studies. as well, cutting down more smoking. today was a lost cause, and i cannot tell you why. i might have been up to 15, not sure, i stopped counting at 10. but still not like i was before champix. tomorrow is gonna be a better day. until tomorrow night, my friends........................poet
