Reciprocity

It can be a tough road at times for quite awhile in different ways as we struggle to adjust to our new lifestyle but your are well on your way to becoming comfortably free of your addiction. Carry on! It's manageable now but a bit of a slog at times. It will continue to get better just as it has these past 3 months. As long as you adhere to NOPE, it will always continue to get better!!

Yes! It will pass Betterbreathing! It's actually pretty common to have a rough patch right around the 3 month mark. It's kind of a weird time. The early days of quitting are behind you and all that excitement from the early battles is over but you're not completely on solid ground yet with your quit and, you think you should be by now. Time to double down on your resolve to protect that quit you have nurtured for so long now. Remember the reasons you wanted to quit for. Focus on all the benefits you've seen since quitting. Spend time here around other quitters for support. You're entering stage two of your quit. You may need a hand up here and there. Plenty of peeps here to do that for you

Not sure. They had so many books! I think we have 10 or 12 boxes of them which we'll donate once we're out of quarantine. I'm keeping the bunny one though Found a bunch of cook books and recipes from my great Aunt I guess. They were from 1916-1918 period. There was also a dress pattern magazine from the 1800's. Paper on that one is falling apart though.

@jillar Found a book today that was given to my father for his 4th birthday; Feb. 7th 1928! I'll have to give it a read tonight! I'll let you know how it turns out (lol).

I'm sensing someone's intoxicated with pride over some sort of large scale footy win?

Anyone else watch the Series game tonight between Dodgers and Rays? Great game with back and forth runs and changing of the lead but what a finish - WOW! Bottom of 9th; 2 down with 2 strikes on the final Ray's batter then, all hell breaks loose! Most bizarre ending to a gam I've ever seen. Critical game too!!

Nope!

Wasn't for the critters she was feeding. I remember her doing that when I was a kid even lol.

Tip of the Day! Don't ever clean out the house of someone who grew up in the Great Depression Era!! They save EVERYTHING Example: Twist Ties I swear my Mom saved every one she ever came across however I have only seen one bag that she ever used one on Fridge was puzzling too. Little bits plastic wrap with 3 left over green beans, 2 pieces of mushroom and another with a dab of potato. I guess she thought she might not be able to get more food the next day? Waste not, want not or something like that. That depression era mentality never left those who lived through it I guess.

Yeah, Lots of memorabilia sorted through that brought up memories of a life long ago. Now, we're down to the; Holy Crap Mom, did you NEVER through anything out phase And yes, that photo is the view from the couch in her living room where she sat most of the time. It's no wonder she didn't want to go until she just couldn't manage any longer But hey! She made it on her own to a couple months short of 100 years old so that's pretty good. Now she's getting the care she needs even though it's a big adjustment for her, especially in these Covid times.

Day 4 of sorting and packing all the stuff in my Mom's house today. That and calling around to see who will take household items and furniture for donation. It's very tough in the pandemic times. Stuff isn't moving out from the charities so many of them can't take anymore stuff But, at the end of each day we sit down on the couch in her living room, garb a couple of cold one's and watch the greatest show on earth
