Quick Update

[willow_25]

Not a lot went on this weekend.  I slept, medicated, drank lots of fluids, etc.  Caught up on my TV, watched football, did laundry.  Read a little bit of fic, including some oldies I hadn't seen in a while.  Managed to post a couple of comments today.  That's about it.

The swelling has gone down in my neck, for which I am grateful.  I now have a phlegm issue, but I can swallow, so that's better.  I even had some coffee today.  For those of you who know me, that was 4 days without coffee, and 5 without a cigarette including today.  I may just not go back to smoking, we'll see how it goes.  If I do quit, it'll be weird because as several friends have been trying and trying to quit, I was just like, 'eh, I'll do that at some point, whatever'.  Who knows, maybe this is 'some point'.  Anyway, 5 days without my glorious stimulants, and although I did have a couple of mild fits of temper, I have yet to have any serious anxiety or to kill anyone in a fit of rage.  This is good.  

Once I'm not sick, and my stamina and concentration are back up, we'll have the true test: can I write like this?

I'm glad you're feeling better, and it certainly would be a great opportunity to stop smoking -- both for the health and the cost. Going without both cigarettes *and* caffeine -- wow. You really have had a tough time of it.
