8-8-8

hello everybody, i just got off the phone with a counselor from quit plan and decided to share the news. i got a flyer for free gum/patch/or losenge when you sign up with quit plan and i was planning on quitting on 8-8-8 anyway so i figured why not give them a call and get some free help. so it is official. i'm excited, weird huh? oh well, what i really came on here for is to get more info on the family reunion but there is nothing posted LU. as it turns out i do not have to switch weekends because that is my weekend off. i will work tuesday and take friday off. it would be nice to have a little more info though. so kathy, ya wanna quit with me? no pressure just wondering. i am ready. and i know you have to be ready and not just pick a date cause someone else did. you will quit when youre ready and not a day before. to get the free stuff, i had to agree to talk with a counselor 4 more times. i'm confident about this so why not right? plus they will send me the stuff for free. i dont know how much they are gonna give me but that don't matter i guess. i didn't ask cause i thought that was kinda greedy so we'll just wait and see. she said it takes 7-10 days so i will stop at coborns and get a small package to start with if mine doesn't get here in time. so now that everybody knows my plan, i will know it will be a bigger deal if it doesn't work so i will try harder. but, like i said, i have been planning on this date for a while so hopefully i stand tough and stick it out. good luck to me! school is going ok. of course i have a research project on the back burner for med terminology,(imagine that) but a&p is going ok. the first couple chapters were on cell division and stuff like that so i thought this sucks but i finished bones last night when i got home. that was pretty easy. so i just keep plugging away. work just hired 10 new aides so guess what i'll be doing for the next couple weeks. i am training in a new girl this week and i was informed the other day, when i'm done with her, i will get another one. oh yippee! actually, i don't mind it but it slows ya down because instead of just doing something, you have to explain everything and we're very busy on my unit and we get behind. on the third day, i have them start doing the cares and that makes me nervous. you should see me when the new people transfer the residents alone for the first time. i try to let them do it but i usually have my hands in there somewhere. oh well i spose i should try to get another chapter done before i go to work. yap at ya all later.

lu, why don't ya post directions and registration info so i know where we're going and when we can set up. i think me and kathy are gonna share a site.

kathy, how about we share a tent and let the kids have the other one? i suppose it depends on who all plans on going and needs a place to sleep. we'll see when we get there i guess.
