I was going to write a post with pictures of some spots I’m about to go to the doctor for. But it seems that they are just too small to be able to see well in a picture.

Anyhoo… I’m due for my annual skin check. Actually I’m several months late. I have 3 I need checked this time around, plus the one that was removed and tested last year. They just aren’t normal. They’ve changed. Anyway… There was going to be illustrations and all.

I looked at cancer photos online, and quite frankly NONE of them looked like any of the ones I’m having tested, so I bet I’m fine. But I’m very “moley” so I have to take precautions.

I have now stopped smoking for 3 days, 21 hours, 28 minutes, 26 seconds. That translates into 77 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $18.67! I have increased my life expectancy by 6 hours, 29 minutes, 28 seconds.

May I tell you how hard it is to sit here in front of the computer and justnot smoking. It sucks. I want one. And have to live without one. I’m trying to find the joy in quitting – but right at this moment, I’m just not seeing it.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go buy any, but DUDE I want one.

Addiction to anything sucks. But meth was easier than this. Of course not quite as easy to get as smokes, but still. I don’t remember it being this harsh.

So – if anyone out there is still choking themselves, please, have one for me. Please?

I have now stopped smoking for 3 days, 12 hours, 11 minutes, 45 seconds. That translates into 70 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $16.97! I have increased my life expectancy by 5 hours, 50 minutes, 48 seconds.

At 20 minutes after quitting:
blood pressure decreases
pulse rate drops
body temperature of hands and feet increases.

At 8 hours:
carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal
oxygen level in blood increases to normal

At 24 hours:
chance of a heart attack decreases

At 48 hours:
nerve endings start regrowing
ability to smell and taste improve
