Thank you so much everyone! Yes, the power is back on. I mentioned the storm and power and all. I failed to mention that last week we were called into a meeting and told that our hospital is in debt, as with most companies right now... things aren't looking really good. They took away a few of the benifits and have some consultants coming to to see what might can be changed to keep from having to lay people off. So, things are up in the air. BUT, through it all I have remained smoke free!!!
Rock--- wow 5 days! Back in 2004 we had a huricane come through here (for the life of me I can't think of the name right now though). We were without power for about 5 days then! It really stinks when the power is out. I know that there was a day when people didn't have power, but they weren't used to having power either. I was worried about my plants and my daughters fish mostly... it got pretty cold the second night! My reward... a new computer that I already have... and a nice dinner with family... can't wait!!!
vaslim--- congrats on your 6 days smoke free. It doesn't seem like it now probably, but time will fly and you will be celebrating your year and 2 year smoke free before you know it!
Penitent-- thank you! Your stats look awesome!!! I remember your name from the start!!! Your stats have always motivated me!!!
Bob--- thank you!!!

Hello everyone! It has been about a week since I was here last... this past week has been a major rollercoaster ride. I had a busy weekend with Easter and my son's birthday dinner. His 13th birthday was Monday, but we celebrated it on Saturday. We did a lot of running over the weekend... THEN Sunday night we had a major storm come through. A "gravity wave" came through the Birmingham area and really did some damage. Our power went out about 1AM Sunday night and didn't come back until about lunch time yesterday... I ended up missing a day of work, but went the other two. Getting ready for work in the dark is a blast! LOL! Especially when you don't have hot water... LOL! BUT, power is back and things here are getting back to normal... so hopefully I can catch up with all the posts over the weekend...
I hope that everyone is doing well in their quit! I am getting even closer to 2 years!!! WOOOHOOO!!!
4:30AM comes early so I am going to sign out and go to bed now... talk to you all soon!
