Yep!  I'm still here, and I'm healthy, still at goal (130), AND quit smoking about a month ago.  Still using Commit lozenges, but have really been tapering off of them!  Stuart is still smoking, but I swear to God his smoking doesn't make me want to smoke.  How did I do this?  I prayed and prayed, on and on to be released from this addiction.  One day I just knew it was coming, so I smoked my last few cigs, bought some Commits, thanked God, and that was it, not one puff since and the Commits aren't really even necessary, but I've thrown in some sugarless candies and some real candies (hard ones), which are helping me realize that I just don't know what to do with my mouth.  NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY (or the  gallery)!  OK, now I will dye my hair again, put on some make-up (after I clean the bottom of the bedroom closet), dress up for you and have Stuart take pics.  Then I will try to download them and get them here.  When all that happens, I will post about new pics!
Love and hugs to all of you!

So, let's see - Val was in the hospital about 2 weeks ago, I was being her angel, then I went into the hospital, so Becky took over us both as our angel.  Val got out of the hospital last Thursday, I got out on Friday.

I came home to a half flooded apartment and a husband who was swollen to twice his size and he rushed off to urgent care.  I stayed home with the service guys who vacuum up the water and then put in super loud fans for 3 days.  Of course, we here in So. Cal. had a heatwave!  It clocked about 100 degrees here, our window A/C decided it did not want to work.  Monday night, we finally slept in our bedroom, and the heat was dispersing and we used our standup fan.  Then Tuesday my computer fried, all gone!

I called my Mother crying, she said go buy another one and she'd pay for it.  I had this one within 3 hours!

Then, today, about 45 minutes ago, Val calls me from a pharmacy where she's waiting for an Rx as she has fallen on broken sidewalk, been rushed to ER, spent 3-4 hours there, and is going home, will see her Dr. tomorrow!
