Glad
you are over the strep and sounds like you have things under control otherwise too!

Sira
Congrats on the progress you're making in the battle against the cigs! A little advice: When the urge becomes really strong, pour yourself a glass of fresh grapefruit juice! The acidity will reduce your craving!
I never give advice in matters of the heart, but I certainly hope you and Mark will work things out quickly...

Even after 6 years I crave nicotine now and then.
You both sound like your making the right decisions regarding the temporary separation, Sira. It takes time - and distance - to work out whether you are both going to be going in the same direction. All the best, Sira.

I still have the odd anxiety attack luv, nothing like last year though
I find writing here on blogit helps me no end and everyone seems to care. Well I certainly care and I'm sure Mark does as well. He probably needed a break too and will be missing you.

I'd bet some of the panic stems from those nicotine receptors in your
brain fighting tooth and nail to get you smoking again. They're devilishly clever. Maybe the flu symptoms, too. I'm sorry to hear that you and Mark are at odds. Men aren't good with it when women get emotional. One more week and things will level off. Meanwhile, rant about it in your journal, get it out of your system and off your mind. I always found that therapeutic. Hang in there, Sira. I miss your blogs and it's very good to read you again. :)pat

I wish you all the very best, Sira...
..sounds like you have a lot on your mind and if things are rough with Mark then your whole balance is probably off. Sounds like the rest and relaxation may be just what you need...let your mama take care of you!

Well done on the cutting down on the smokes
That's a brilliant long-term investment in you. There seems to be (dare I say unneccessary) angst regarding the gifts. Courtesy of my dubious career choice, I only mean financially, I've had to be modest in spending on gifts in recent years. I used to be generous when I had a salary. And one day when I have a big advance I will be generous again. In the meantime my siblings and I do not exchange gifts, or keep it very small, and parents and in-laws certainly prefer us to keep it modest, as they worry if we spend our hard earned money on them. We have a chat about it, in November, takes about a minute, and then we remove that pressure. Of course if during the year I see the perfect thing for someone and can afford it, I buy it. On Christmas morning I wish for a moment that I could do more but it passes until the next year.
No wonder you have had panic again lately. I guess with Mark, it comes down to whether you can both agree to meet and step into future letting the past slip behind you. Gosh, better get back to work...
