tornados, lightning, and cravings

   Good grief, I'm doing a terrible job of keeping up on this little blog.
   Tonight at work was ... interesting. We had a tornado warning. The city sirens were going off and everything. Looking out the front windows was horrifying - the wind, rain, and lightning were crazy. Just a few miles to our west a community reported winds of up to 100mph. We had to make announcements that NWS had issued this warning and to go to this one wall in the building. Of course some people wanted to shop until they were blown away. A shopping addiction perhaps?
   Speaking of addictions. I've been smoke free for 3 days and 16 hours. I quit on Monday morning and bought the patch that afternoon. The patch works surprisingly well - hardly any cravings or withdrawal symptoms when I'm using it. Rough day yesterday though while I wasn't wearing it. I was catching up on sleep so I didn't put it on - I'm told it gives you horrible nightmares. So I had a few cravings, but I'm insistent that I will quit this time! A little program on my computer tells me I've saved $13 already too! Even better...
