Good morning, GUSelves!!!! I'm late and have nothing to say but Happy Tuesday -- and Happy Tomorrow!!!!! Old lawyer heads off to somewhere for two weeks -- leaves not enough food for office cat. Leaves wrong keys to Admin. Asst. for house cat who was not in the house but outside all night!!! There's a possum living in his tool drawer in the garage.
We figured out the keys -- got the house kitty in -- not enough food left for her either. Went cat fud shopping on a day you know you don't want to go shopping. I got free food for Roger the Cat because the Admin said -- screw it. The old boy can pay for it!!!!
So, now I'm back and will be going to my apt. around noon. That means I have to pack up and walk about 10 yards.
GUS (Gave Up Smoking) is a community support diary for Kossacks in the midst of quitting smoking. Any supportive comments, suggestions or positive distractions are appreciated. If you are quitting or thinking of quitting, please -- join us! We kindly ask that politics be left out.
You can also click the GUS tag to view all diary posts, or access the GUS Library at dKosopedia for a great list of stop-smoking links. Check it out! GUS library.
A message to ALL quitters. You don't have to avoid GUS if you have a failed quit. We won't give you a bad time and we consider the failed quits as "practice" for the real quit.
Quit Keeper widget which is an outstanding aid for those beginning the difficult path to quitting. It lets you know how long you haven't smoked, how many cigs you haven't smoked, how much money you've saved.
Quit Smoking Counter h/tGDbot. For those of you who have had a problem with Quit Keeper or want a different counter!
We've lost a buddy. Peace and blessings for our sister, RiaD. Peace and blessings for her family and friends.
