Getting in with my dermatologist next week, had DD1 at pedis office for 3 hours today, and I went to my family doc to have my spot and my knee looked at.

DD1 possible parasite or salmonella or e-coli infraction, must send stool sample for testing. OMG she's so embarrassed about it don't let her know I told y'all!

Me and my spot are probably freaking out for nothing, and are getting referred to the dermatologist for a final analysis. And I either have tendinitis or a torn ligament in my left knee, rest/ice and anti-inflammatories for a month. It should resolve by itself but if it gets worse I'll get an MRI.

And the best news, even though my first thought was "a really good reason to smoke" I have not lit up since Wednesday. Me and Halo Tribecca 24mg are slowly getting used to each other, it's over-flavored and perfumery and a 7 ml bottle was $6.99 at my tiny local store. I won't buy it again, my handmade RY4 is hands down my favorite. But Halo made this good and strong so it really knocks down a craving!!

Sparkle you are a strong positive person, and I will try not to be an albatross around your neck whilst riding your coat tails to success! LOL yes we can do this! It's no harder than the last 50 times, in fact it's easier cause of vaping and a valuable network of supportive friends! I really need to change my ticker, today marks 2 days, and tomorrow on the infamous 3rd day I will be crippled and high on pain meds; in no shape to drive. And thanks to my darling Secret Saint I have Aroma WTA to hold my hand as well.

Check in tomorrow any time I need a kick in the ...., you provide the boot!

Good morning everyone! Stuck in lala land with my knee wrapped like a mummy and an icepack. Let me live vicariously through you all today!!

How's the weather, what are you doing to keep busy today? Any good books or movies you can recommend?

I feel better today, knee is less swollen and I can straighten my leg without screaming, although the indrawn breath and occasional wince testify that all is not well in tendon-ville, at least there is hope. Being high on pain meds is sort of fun, except for the itching.

Have a great day and may you smoke only as much as you want to! Today I want zero. Let's see if I can make it through!

Ugh was rudely kicked out of lala land and fell right on my face. Slept so long missed scheduled doses of anti-inflammatory and pain meds. Hurt still pretty impressive although the swelling is down.

Hope you're all busy doing something amazing, fill me in. Sparkle have fun at Ikea! The closest one to me is in Charlotte, still never been.

I went to sleep this morning and slept through phone calls, alarms, and child jumping on the bed.. im still tired.

Heh...I always thought it was funny, how I could sleep thru all sorts of child-nonsense... but one little tiny "mom?" in the middle of the night, and I was up and on full alert. :D

I'm having a rotten day, personally. Not rotten in the sense of cravings, or wanting to smoke, or any of that.... but I just ran our budget for Monday's payday, and it would appear that I don't even have budget for ejuice. At least, not till I make a VISA payment sometime after the 20th, which will take 3-4 biz days to post... so looking at maybe 2 more weeks till I can buy any ejuice. Luckily I have plenty of my Virginia, but I'm nearly out of my blueberry muffin, which has lately started edging out the VA as my ADV.

:(

Andria you are OK with blending flavors, have you tried buying something double strength and cutting it with pg/vg to bring down the nic level? Its been great for saving money for me.

Haven't really done it on purpose, though I've tried it with a couple that I bought at first that were too much nicotine for me; it really kills the flavor, or so it seemed to me. But then I expect my buds are still recuperating from 39 yrs of smoking, because there are some flavors I don't seem to taste very strongly. I love this Blueberry Muffin so much, but I'd prefer if the flavor was even stronger, than weaker.

We did figure out a way that I can order my Blueberry Muffin after just a day or two rather than waiting nearly 2 wks, so I should be ok -- one of the bills on the budget is his credit card pmt, so once that pmt posts, I can place my order. And one of my next-scheduled orders is going to be various blueberry and "cake batter" flavors from WizLabs, so I can start trying some DIY to see if I can recreate somethng like this flavor I love so much; if I can, that would sure save some money if I can make my own. Fairly successful with the Virginia flavors I got from ecigexpress, their Tobacco Express "Virginia" and "Golden Virginia," so I'm hoping I can be equally successful with the blueberry muffin.

Thx!
Andria

EDIT: Just re-read your post, and saw that you said "double strength" -- it's unfortunately not an option, at Sweet-Vapes, where I get this Blueberry Muffin, nor even at Hard Rock Vapor, whose Blueberry Muffin was the one I first tried -- I moved to the Sweet-Vapes version because a) it's cheaper, and 2) I can customize my PG/VG to high-PG, but the HRV version is 50/50, way too much VG for me, and they don't customize anything.
