May 2014

I started two years ago January and it has been a big life changer. I enjoyed smoking and never wanted to quit. Sometimes I feel like i really haven't, but my health says otherwise!

I had forgotten how much the world stinks when my smell powers came back! I wonder if I could have worked with animals like I did if I could smell it like I can now.

I like your sonic screwdriver description. I try not to call them my cigs around my grandsons, sometimes I call it a vape stick. I bet they notice Ma does not stick like she did when they were babies.

Keep it up and enjoy!
