I have spent the last few days with a very tight chest and feeling like I was getting sick...wheezing, etc. I quit smoking about 7 or 8 years ago...a little too late, since I came down with emphysema recently anyway. I mention this because it means my breathing is a little compromised...and I've been feeling tight chested, wheezy, etc...
It occured to me tonight that my neighbor has been chainsmoking right outside his kitchen door - which is right outside MY kitchen door and it's been drifting in....so essentially, I've been smoking again, only this time without the benefit of any filters. Thanks asshole.
Now I don't care if someone wants to smoke, but can't you go where there's a little more space between the building? Where the smoke isn't going to go right into my kitchen and then into my LUNGS?
So now I have to make sure the kitchen door is closed, when I usually have heat flashes at night and feel like I need AIR FLOW......
Oh well, shut the door and open my living room window and turn on the fan...
did that...
ahhhhhh fresh air........for about 15 minutes....now it feels like someone is smoking right outside my front door.
I'll bet the asshole heard me shut the door and went to the sidewalk to smoke...
paranoid? me? maybe.
for the past two days, i've felt like all I can smell is cigarette smoke...and it never seems to go away. it's not good for me.
well time to go to bed, even though I'm not sleepy
my little bedside light burned out and I haven't gone to the store to replace it yet....so I've been trying to read by the light of a little smokeless candle...battery powered, and flickers just like a real candle. It's pretty, but irritating to read to flickering light. How did our ancestors sneak read in bed?.
Just a little whine post....
on the good news though....
I just finished reading Defiant by Lili St. Crow, the fourth in the Strange Angels series (young adult, but other than having very young characters - to me young, 17 - they read like adult) Boy was it a good book. I've started reading two books - the Accidental Human by Dakota Cassidy and Afterlife by Naomi Clark. One is funny, one seems like it's going to be intense.
