Some time later...

So it's been nearly 3 months since I quit smoking... and I've had some encouragement along the way, but nothing that I really listened to. I know smoking is bad for you, blah blah blah... however, one thing  stayed in my mind...
2 days ago, whilst at work, I saw the company director from my previous job. Obviously, you have to go and do the usual meet and greet, which I did, and what is the first thing he tells me ? "Oh, you put on weight hey ?"
I smiled. But deep down, I really wanted to push his head against the glass door. Then again, that could be messy and hard to clean afterwards, so no. I just smiled.
But what an insensitive motherfucker ! As if you would say that !
Yes I did gain a couple of KG's, nothing crazy, and I don't have 2 arses instead of 1.
Before this I used to get "oh you look sooooo skinny! You must eat more !", which I think it's as offensive as calling someone fat. No?
Luckily I managed to nod and wink (my tactic for when I am angry but don't want to create a scandal) and move on.
That night I walked home and took some great pics. I guess that asshole ended up having a positive effect after all...

Shitty weather: I ♥ you !

What do you do when the weather is so bad, that going outside is completely out of the question ?
I used to smoke and drink coffee, looking at people outside running from the rain. But it's been over 3 weeks since I had my last cigarette, and I want to keep it up.
The boyfriend is happy about it, and that alone is worth the effort (the nagging gets on my nerves).
Instead of reaching for the nicotine stick, I reached for the camera and tried to timelapse the storm. Filmed in normal speed, but speeded up 800x.  It's my first time doing this, but I can tell there will be more. And I don't even need to worry about not having bad weather...

Best to watch on Youtube as it's better quality... and choose 1080 !  :)

Starting and quitting. What a bore.

So first posts always suck. I know. It's not like I talk to the mirror and make weird facial expressions, or even read this out loud. Never. And I never dance around to Kate Bush in my room either...  ;)

And quitting sucks too, especially quitting smoking.
No, I won't bore you with all the details, just suffice to say that it's going well and even if I wanted to smoke I wouldn't be able to. Why ?
Well, I spent all my "cigarette money" on a very expensive new camera, and now I can't afford to smoke.
I highly recommend this instead of burning your money away.
