Day 74: I'm a train wreck

The stress started setting in about a week ago in full force. In my infinite wisdom I decided on smoking. I mean smoking seems to relieve the smokers' stress... (Yes, I realize my logic is flawed) Anyway, 2 days later my skin was pocked, itchy, and irritated. I ran a search on hives and all of its forms, but that wasn't it. Found out "cooties" *is* an official diagnosis, but I didn't have them. So with 25min before carpool, I called a dear physician friend in a panic then tore through traffic like a demon to get to his office. I can't remember whether he called me a moron or a jackass - either way, the point was clear. Fast forward 3 days and I am pleased to report I am no longer a smoker; I have finished the pills to fix the rash; and it is a LOT better  but not completely gone. Wonder if it is all the drinking I'm doing ... My God, I am a train wreck.
