WHAT I MISS MOST?

Picking my nose.  I seriously miss picking my nose.  That is turning out to be the single most difficult thing I am trying to quit doing.

There is a whole thing that goes with picking your nose.  You surreptitiously glance around to see if anyone is in your sight line.  If so you wait it out.  If not but it's possible someone might come by, you hide your hand and be quick.  If you are alone in the house...well have at it.  But now, one cannot stick their possibly diseased finger up their nose at any time!  I miss it!

And I miss eating vegetables straight out of the grocery bag.  No washing or wiping, no looking for crap on them.  Just bust off a piece of celery and munch it down whilst you shove the rest into the fridge, still unwashed.  Not any more.  Fill the sink with bleachy soapy water.  Immerse grapes, bananas, broccoli, celery etc... in the water and wait a couple of hours.  Then rinse, dry and put away.  So not me believe me.

I miss going days without washing my hands.  Oh, I used to wash them before hands in or on cooking and after the John but that was about it.  Now I wash them every time I turn around.  They are now cracked and dry and scaly and there is no point in putting on lotion because five minutes later you are just washing them again.  We are on our fourth bottle of hand soap in just one of the bathrooms.  Not my fave thing.

Yesterday afternoon Monte started to complain about stomach and chest pains.  They got worse and worse.  I finally gave him a couple of my acid inhibitors and it seemed to help a wee bit but at one in the morning he came upstairs in agony.  He phoned 811 and they told him to call an ambulance, it could be heart.  So we hopped into the jeep, its faster than calling an ambo, and I zipped him up to emergency.    Long story short, it's the beginning of an ulcer.  So no more booze, no more coffee, no more sugar, no more pop.  I will be buying lots of veggies and coconut water.  We will see if we can kick this with the right diet and a minimum of those inhibiting acid pills that are so hard to kick later.

Well its time to go and get all the fruit and veg out of the sink of water.  Peter went shopping for me today and I am washing all the produce.  I washed everything else too and put them away.  Now I am going to nap.  I am sleepy after pulling an all nighter!  Stay safe people.....TTYL
