2012 = UGH

Posted inThe Mission, VideogamesNo Comments
Ugh. 2012 now. And why is hitting a Gamerscore target so important? If only I knew then what I know now. Other highlights include the stopping smoking saga involving Champix, and the time I inadvertently thanked the universe for having everything I needed. How little did I know back then. Other than that, 2012 was full of videogames (I wrote…

STOP SMOKING

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I have decided that it really is finally time to stop smoking. I'm currently ill, and halfway through a course of Champix, so smoking is utterly pointless at the moment. Of course, in reality, it is always pointless. Being ill means I can't fully inhale the smoke, and the Champix makes me feel sick when I do smoke. I just…

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…

Champix: Day nine

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Day two of the higher dose, and I think we may be getting somewhere. Today would have been the day I stopped smoking, but I decided to push it back a little as I didn't feel the tablets were working as much as they should be. Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, although I am beginning to…

Champix: Day eight

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Today is my first day of taking 1mg twice a day. I'm getting more and more down, feeling like this course of tablets won't work. Coupled with the news that my best Asda buddy has got a job elsewhere, today could have been better. It did have it's good points - I got to go home a bit early because…

Champix: Day seven

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Positive: Day off from Asda - done loads of weights and had a good hour on the rowing machine. Negative: Feeling a bit sorry for myself - Jane had some (potentially) bad news, and I don't know what to do. Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, and the relief after smoking was normal, but again, some cigarettes…

Champix: Day six

I seem to be needing the toilet more than usual. Is this yet another side-effect? Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, and the relief after smoking was normal, but the actual smoking made me feel slightly queasy at times. Progress?

Champix: Day five

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Day two of having two tablets. I had a go on my new rowing machine (did I not mention this? I bought a rowing machine with my bonus from Asda), walked to Waterlooville, had a haircut and then walked home again. It reminded me of the reasons why I don't want to smoke anymore - my health, and the impact…

Champix: Day four

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Sunday, bloody Sunday. I slept in until about 10 this morning as I was so tired. Working the late shift until 10pm on Friday night then coming in for 7am on the Saturday always takes it's toll, but it was worse this time for some reason. I felt I needed to sleep more. Is this a Champix effect? Who knows.…
