I was patient-instructing last night, so couldn't actually join ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theferrett, zoethe, their friends and Becca for American Splendor. I could, however, join them for tasty Thai food. Tasty, tasty. Especially the coconut chicken soup. Yum. And I finally got a chance to meet zoethe, who is indeed very cool. And when I got home, I had a postcard from firinel, with one of my favorite of her sketches! Becca got a decent amount of amusement over my bounciness about that...
I did indeed quit smoking at midnight. From the exceedingly brief trial run of the Nicotrol inhaler so far, it seems more useful to me than the patch was. And I survived the "morning getting ready" with Becca (we both smoke a decent amount in mornings while we're getting ready and driving in). I wasn't exactly at my most relaxed and chipper on the drive in, though. Work's a bit easier than home, although I'm still getting all jumpy about wanting a smoke break. I think I'm going to go play around in the gym for a little while and see if that distracts me a bit.
I'm actually more jittery right now that I usually would be -- quitting makes me nervous, and my response to being nervous is to want a cigarette. So it's a lot of trying to ignore the elephant in the living room... Mostly I just want to go back to sleep, since that seems like the easiest way to ignore the whole issue.
