12/9/08: These last few weeks have been a roller coaster ride. It seems as school starts to wind down that everyone expects more out of me. No one understands that I have so much going on that I may not handle any more. My husband complains that I am not doing enough around the house. Like I don’t know that! Duh! I am mentally exhausted. Have you ever been mentally exhausted? It’s worse than physi8cal exhaustion. My senses can’t focus clearly and I have to make my mind tell my body what to do. That’s why I have fallen off the bandwagon so much lately. Cigarettes make me feel awake and alert. I feel I can function better when I smoke. Every day is a struggle to stop smoking. Some days I want to some days I don’t. Today is a good day. First good day in weeks. I have been keeping myself busy doing Christmas stuff like fixing broken ornaments. I did a lot of housework and my need for a cigarette dwindled today! Yea!!! My only hope I that it will be the same tomorrow! I have been in the mood to run lately. Too bad the weather sucks! Candy doesn’t help, food isn’t the answer, and there is only so much housework I can do. Tomorrow is going to be a struggle.”
