Day 204 of OU studies

Visible to anyone in the world

The base for my metal shed came today so i have been assembling that and putting together the base of the shed,so today has been a productive day and i am pleased with myself for the accomplishment, even if it is towards an outcome that, quite honestly, scares the living life out of me.

The shingle that fills the plastic grid system that is the base for the shed comes on the 26th, along with the sheets of ply that will make the base of the shed, once they arrive i will assemble the walls, put the roof on and then fill it with my belongings, in the hope that i will be believed and therefore get to unpack it all again.

Today has reminded me of how unfit i am, i really would benefit from quitting smoking and getting a lot more exercise. I have been feeling a lot less stressed out lately, my battle for abstinence is is manageable and i seem to be incontrol , which is also relieving stress, so all in all, i am feeling ok, meetings are going well, pain management solutions is going well and my mental health matters seem to be manageable.

The relationship with my mum has been pleasant lately and we are getting on much better, which is a massive burden off my shoulders. I hope all is well with all in blog land, i am grateful to all who have supported me lately with your concerns and well wishes, it really has given me strength and motivation to keep positive and carry on, so thank you all.

Having stopped smoking 32 years ago there are still times where I could really enjoy a ciggie

First ciggie when I was 10 😞 not clever

Hi,

Keep strong!

 The thought of having that first cigarette in the morning puts me off ! The thought of feeling sick keeps the smoking at bay ! Its been two years since l gave up , had been an on off smoker since my teens . Keep going if you can, good luck with the rest of the shed building.smile

Hey Judith, thank you for responding, my mum is the same as you, she started when she was 11, although she still smokes, i think people underestimate the power of nicotine, so well done for quitting
