Three years
filed under: knitty
As of yesterday at noon I have been a non-smoker for three years. According to QuitTime, I have not smoked 38,384 cigarettes and saved $6,717.20. Cody says I can get a $50 prize for myself. What to buy what to buy.
I finished the tweedy fuzzyfeet for my father-in-law on Friday night at a big dinner with the Aunts, their daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters. I will felt them to fit his feet when he comes by this week.
I also just finished my first Jaywalker. That’s my very first “normal” sock, ladies and gents. And I cast on the other one like a good girl.
And I spun (for the first time since December) a bobbinful some great Neopolitan roving from Spunky Eclectic. The roving was a giftmas prezzie from Cody and his mom so I’m keeping this yarn. It was nice to spin again I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed it until I was doing it.
Photos to come soon, tomorrow when I wake up. I’ve been busy with family stuff and a web project and my usual lethargic self. (yay hypothyroidism and depression!) I had a good night tonight. Cody was at work but I had all my babies (except the hedgehog) cuddled up with me. We watched strange programs about Tomb Hunters and Cannibalism on the History Channel as I worked away on my sock. Also a Cary Grant Ginger Rogers movie called Once Upon a Honeymoon which has Rogers recite the original Pledge of Allegiance (sans the under God part that wasn’t added until the fifties). That’s always interesting.
Thanks for your thoughts about my sister and her kitty. It’s hard to lose a member of the family, even when it’s a fuzzy member.


Web project?
I wanna see your Jaywalker!
Congrats on 3 years smoke free!!
I can totally relate to the lethargy thing. Ugh. Energy sapping health crap. Ugh.
congratulations! on the sock and being smoke free. My poor husband had to “prove” his love for me by quitting before I agreed to marry him.

What an awesome accomplishment!
You’ve done your body a huge favor by quitting smoking.
I wanna see your Jaywalker too!
Congratulations on the Not Smoking. I know it’s a hard road/battle/urge to go through, I quit 20 years ago… have never looked back. Spend your money on something fun and wild - you earned it!
Congrats on three years. It’ll be 11 years for me in May. It was the hardest addiction I have ever kicked! I remember having to work on it every day for the first six months. God it was miserable. Good good good for you!
