New Year Old Year update

So I'll try to make this short.
Gadget Girl and I went to visit our friend Kimmie when it turned out we both had the same week scheduled off. ROAD TRIP!!! GG hates to drive, and she's an excellent copilot/navigator, and I like to drive, so it works out. We discovered this when my dad passed in Florida and we had to drive back and forth a few times.
Anyhoo, the road trip to Missouri was end of August/Labor Day/Week after. We had a blast, I might be able to post a few pics here with any incriminating evidence blacked out.
Oh yeah, and I *planned* to smoke on this trip. What else do you do in a car for 900 miles? Sheesh.
So we get back to Houston, and Hurricane Ike is heading our way. So the next weekend we get to put up with Ike. btw, I'm still smoking during this stressful weather incident. We make it thru ok, mostly damage to chain link fence and a tree across the 1962 Streamline 24' Duke with the pink stove and sink. Big ol' pine tree went across it. Insurance didn't quite see the value that I did, so it paid out less than what I bought it for. Bastards. And the killer tree lifted up the fence where it's roots were and crushed the fence on the other side of Duke. A couple of other trees lost some major limbs but that was about it as far as damage goes, so we were pretty lucky. Ended up getting a bunch more pine trees cut down that were hanging over the house and otherwise being a nusciance. That cost some $$.
So, after the hurricane, a week later, my boss goes on vacation for 2 weeks, then back for 2 days and off for 3 days. This is still not a good time to quit. Stressed out is a mild way of putting it. Then, they fire her. This got Cindy and I to the point of crying from stress/frustration quite a few times. I was smokin a lot! Then they hired a new gal, and it turns out she's pretty nice but slow and hands off her work to others. It's finally getting mostly back to normal.

So, I decided to quit again. Unfortunately I still had 3 packs, so I officially started weaning myself starting January 5th, and smoked my last one Friday January 23rd. Not too bad. I've had a couple of URGES over the weekend, but I figure those urges will be stronger when I get in the car. That's my strongest trigger, and that's about the only time/place I was smoking for the last 3 weeks.

So I reset the quitting clock.

Happy New Year everyone!
