WCR: All is good. She got herself more water, which is always an excellent sign. I always give her water with her meals, and if she wants more she knows where the waterbowl is. I decided to give her an AMPS +2 to see what's going on as she was rather chatty. Good thing. Am keeping watch this a.m.

Yesterday, we spent from about 5:15 p.m. until almost midnight rearranging our office, and my desk came in (purchased from Amazon.com) yesterday, despite them saying that it wouldn't arrived until between November 27, and December 5th. So, I went from a 5' long desk, to a less than 4' long one. This office can't really handle a large desk. The room itself isn't that big.

On another note... My wonderful DH has FINALLY quit smoking today!!!!! Last night, he told me that he needed to stay up 2 more hours as he had 2 more cigarettes to smoke before going to bed. He also told me that that was it. No more cigarettes. 2 weeks ago on Saturday, he told me that the carton would be the last one. He has admitted to me that he would smoke a carton in 6 days. He has finally realized, despite having a battle with himself for so long, that he needs to get healthy again, and he doesn't want to end up like his mom... Dead at 64. We still visit her grave, which is only about 2 miles down the road from us. I don't want to be burying him at an early age, either. I have kept telling him that I'm extremely proud of him. I still am. I hope and pray that he doesn't go off the wagon. He really needs to keep on track of this. A lot of factors made him realize that he needed to do this. Health, he doesn't want to die at a young age, our finances, including the fact that we were hit with a huge rise in our health insurance, and we can start putting away money back into our savings account. This has been a long time coming. Please keep him in your prayers. I have never been a smoker, and I honestly don't know what a smoker goes through when trying to quit.

MY WISH: For God to help heal the broken hearts of those who lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to help those ailing make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s... For everyone to be OTJ.
 
I hope Blackie surfed nicely for you today. I'll pray for your DH to be able to quit smoking. I've heard that is very difficult.
 
Hi Angela,

These are terrific numbers for Blackie today. She looks great. I hope the numbers for the rest of the day were good, too.

Congrats to your DH for quitting smoking. When I was young, everyone smoked. I smoked a pack of Lucky Strikes a day and often more than that for 20+ years and finally decided that I should quit. To my surprise, it wasn't hard at all to quit. It was more of a habit than an addiction. It was only a bit difficult in social situations (parties) and when writing term papers. I know that your DH will be able to quit. If he wants to, he will. When I smoked, cigarettes were only 20 cents a pack. I can't imagine how anyone can afford to smoke these days!
So good luck to him! Sending lots of "no smoking" vines!!

Have a great weekend,

Ella & Rusty
