Smoking why? Mood
Friday, July 18, 2008 | A General Update story
I dont think I've told you all yesterday but because of this dating disaster I had I've started smoking again. It is not good because while I feel that smoking does help me relax somewhat, I've noticed that my leg with the DVT is starting to hurt again. I've had my INR checked recently and its quite low, so I've had to increase the dose of my Warfarin (anti blood clotting agent) to cope with this, I don't know if the smoking is aggravating the leg?

Now I'm thinking I should stop smoking - Cant believe I started after stopping for almost three months. I do have patches left on my dresser and I should decide to stop, like now!
But apart from the pain, and I know I shouldn't because of my present health risks, it just feels right to smoke.

I've also gone online to join some groups so that I can make some new friends:

I've started by looking at local groups for Archery, Walking, and Tai Chi. I've made some e-mail enquiries and know that by doing so I'm heading in the right but 'out of my comfort zone' direction.

I also bought a new pair of shoes for my job interview in a weeks time, and a web-camera for some more dating, (why do I bother?) I say dating I think I will just stick to online friends just for now.

    Yeah I got a pack of smokes today myself. They taste like crap after not smoking a few days. I'm going back off them tomorrow though. It's just not worth it. Waste of money and bad for you and all that.
