Quit Smoking Day 6 - Busy

Today hasn't been too bad on the old quitting front. I thought that going to work could have 1 of 2 results. 1) It would be worse because I was in a familiar routine of having a smoke at certain times of the day at work, and I may not have any work to do which means I'd get bored which means I'd think about cigarettes even more. OR 2) It would be better because I'd have so much stuff to do I wouldn't even have time to think about smoking.

As it happens lady luck was shining on me because in fact I did have a lot of work to do today which kept me more than busy, and I think the only time I thought about smoking was when I was in reception telling a former smoking buddy that I'd given up and gone cold turkey, not seeing the point in using quit smoking aids since they prolong the nicotine withdrawal.

So for once I was grateful to be in work, and managed to get through quite a lot of my inbox to-do's, as well as finishing off some work that I'd been trying to complete for a couple of days.

When I get home I take a look at the triops to see how they are doing. Out of the 7 or so babies that we had, 3 have survived and 2 of those are now about 2 cm long - I've now got to start feeding them carrot and fish as special treats, which will probably mean I'll have to make their water changes a bit more frequent too.

After tea I watch Vanity Fair whilst Phil does some work and then reads his book. The film is ok, but I've a feeling its another of those whereby it does not justice to the book - I guess the only way I'll find that out is by reading it.
