Changes

Well, so changes are just around the corner.

I have decided that yes, this is the time to stop smoking and my stop date I decided is May 1st, Beltane. What better day to start a new way of life. Between now and then I have so much I have to do.

I need to clean out and get rid of all the ashtrays and cigarette supplies I have around me. I'll need to make sure all my clothing and bedding is washed so there is no smoke smell. Then what. I've already talked to Frank, my nephew. He has agreed not to smoke anywhere near me and that he will not make his own cigarettes, something I've been doing for him, when I make my own.

Also, tomorrow, the boys are bringing down my Altar.

Since about June of last year, I have been sleeping downstairs so that I could hear Mom if she needed something in the middle of the night. The sofa is very comfy and I sleep well but the one thing I've been missing is my Altar.

So I've cleaned it off, packed away everything I use, and the boys are bringing the dresser that it sits atop downstairs. We have a place picked out and once again I can start setting it up for different things. I've missed it so much.

So, that's about it for now. Need to go finish the dishes so I can make the Cheesecakes for tomorrow. We are having Homemade Taco's for Easter. (grins) Yeah yeah I know, not traditional.

Well, since the death of Dad and Nanny, we no longer do the traditional thing. Every holiday the guys and mom either pick something they like or go through my cook books and choose something really new.
