What significant things have I done today?

[Griffin NoName]

It's not what I've done, it's what I've not done 2 months not smoking.

[Opsa]

 

Izzit getting any easier yet?

[Roland Deschain]

Congratulations, Griffin. Nasty habit, and difficult to kick. 2 months is impressive!

Izzit getting any easier yet?

Thanks guys.

Yes it is easier, but not yet easiest

I still yearn when doing certain activities, and when stopping certain activities. But mostly I don't think about it.

The real risk will arise if I ever meet another smoker. But as mostly I see no one, it is not likely.

[Opsa]

You'll know how well you've quit when you can hang out with smokers and not be at all attracted to their habit.

I managed to empty two large raised beds (for plants), and sieve their entire contents. The first had around 4 wheelbarrow loads of soil come out of it, and the second had closer to 7. I also fully reassembled the birdtable after its first long overdue refresh.

Nice work!  I need a compost sieve to tackle the old legacy pile that's at the back of the yard. Just need to find some cheap heavy mesh, or alternatively some old fridge shelves/bbq grates to build one.

Today (and really all week until and including Saturday) I worked on preparations for a fundraiser for our little theater. We're having a festival this weekend, with some vendors, kid's craft tables, white elephant, raffles, entertainment and food. I've run craft fairs before, but this time I'm basically running the whole affair, small though it might be.

It is amazing how generous people can be with their time and materials. I have people offering things for our raffle without being asked. I have moms with four kids offering to help out at the event.

It is also amazing how differently people communicate. I have a habit of telling everyone what's going on as often as possible. This comes from my graphic artist days, when you had to be sure to spell out everything very clearly and redundantly to the clients, the printers, and the co-workers. It's very easy for people to assume it should be done "the way they've always done it" or "the way we did it last time".

I know that we'll get through Saturday and it will be a good day for us. Just gotta keep trying to stay a step ahead, and remembering to breathe!

Yay Sibling Opsa!

[Sibling DavidH]

Good luck with that, Opsa!

Yes, it's amazing how generous people are to things like that.

[Roland Deschain]

Reiterating the good fortune wishes, Opsa. Working with other people can be quite the mission, especially when they act like people. Good fortune again, and don't let up on making sure they know what they're doing.

Cleaned the house, and tidied my bedroom. Been putting it off for quite a while now....

[Opsa]

Thanks, Sibs. The fair went very well, and I'm exhausted!

However, like Pachy, I am spending the day tidying up the aftermath here in my office. I still have oodles of tiny notes all over my desk, though. Am taking it a step at a time.
