thanks to everyone, i am indeed feeling better now. it was a combination of a. trying not to smoke, b. a high temperature and c. frustration that i couldn't go for my bandfill.
3 days fag-free after a week's smoking due to a stomach bug. smoking was the only thing that stopped me feeling nauseous. the smoking's been creeping back up since i've been back at work so now i'm back on patches. i've also come up with a cunning plan to keep my hands busy: i'm knitting my friend a scarf for xmas. it's ADDICTIVE. i've even been knitting madly at work today at times when everyone else is off having a smoke. 2 days and i've already knitted a foot-length :D took me awhile to remember it all, plus it's a bit wonky, but it's looking good. i'm even knitting during the drive into work and back (ETA: i'm not driving at the same time. hubby drives).
i've also been making candles for xmas pressies. groovy 70s retro ones, cream with dark/light brown blocks inside that show through when they're lit. just spent half an hour scrubbing all the wax off the kitchen counters but the whole house smells of essential oils and hot wax, lovely. marvellous what you can do with inverted rinsed-out McDs cups you've dug out of the town garbage.
i'm having a patch test for laser treatment on my goatee tomorrow. eek. in preparation, i've let it all grow a bit so going into work with visible facial hair has been a bit of a trial so far. probably not the best time to give up smoking? the first person who comments on it will get a punch in the face. or groin, depending on my mood at the time.
seen a job i'm going to go for - policy officer with the police. lawks, it's the rozzers! huuuuuge payrise though, i'm totally qualified but i should imagine there will be more experienced candidates going for it.
