No Brainer Week....

The last couple of days have been really rough ones... A lot of sleeping, being heart sick 24 hours a day , headaches, hives but not enough to stop what I am doing,and the lack or desire to do anything has been my world....

Carl and I started Champix 8-9 days ago... Carl started the day before I did... I was not sure if I wanted to start this at all but decided to give it a try... now if anyone doesn't know Champix is a aid to quit smoking.... the first 3 days you are to take .5 mg of this once a day... your 4-7 day you take .5 mg twice daily then after that it is 1 mg twice a day... that is where I am today... starting of the 1 mg... between the 8th and 14th day you stop smoking... but the way the .5mgs have been working on me it is not going to be long for that decision to be made...

I have always claimed that I am slow at time getting things... and this is no exception... I have been heart sick like crazy and couldn't understand why... before I ate and after was the worst... it had nothing to do with what I am eating because the majority of it has been healthy stuff.... trying to keep the weight where it is, is a major concern for me... but couldn't understand why I have been so sick when I was eating.... then it hit me like a ton of bricks last night... what do I do most times before I eat and of course right after... have a smoke... it was not the food that was making me sick it is the bloody smoking... so if the .5 mg dose is doing this to me I can imagine what my day is going to be like when I take the 1 mg.....after breakfast this morning....

Today when I got up after a night of semi good sleep which is kind of hard when you have already slept 10 or more hours during the day... I decided that today I was getting off duff and actually get a few things done around the house... the second table is still sitting in the dining room.... most laundry is to be done though there has not been all that much clothes being worn since I have been spenting most of my time in bed... clean up around the house a bit... and maybe if I am really nice today I will go out and help Carl with the snow since it has been snowing since last night and there is a bit of it around the yard...

The one good thing about all of this I have been getting some reading in which is something I don't get to do very often...and at night I am knitting.... ohhh yes anyone in the family looking for a scarf let me know if I have the color I will make one for you... that is what I have been into recently... and I found a really cool pattern for a zig zag one.. on my second one actually.... I have a whole bin of yarn that I have been picking up and not using so thought this would be a no brain project after Christmas...
