I cannot do the ChaCha
Work was uneventful today. In fact, I could barely drag myself through the day. It’s such a Monday! And the fact that it gets dark so early now just saps all of my energy. I put in my eight hours at work, and hurry home so I can work on ChaCha and keep on paying for the shower. I’ve been on ChaCha for 90 minutes, and I’ve gotten two searches. Two! Good thing that’s not the only thing I’m doing on the computer. It’s starting to make me crabby. The ChaCha slowdown has been going on for over a week, and I can’t make any money this way!
I was talking to a friend at work who had recently quit smoking. I’ve been quit for almost six months, and she was telling me how she still has problems dealing with her emotions. I think we have problems dealing with our emotions because we used cigarettes to blunt them since we were teens. You know - You get mad, you have a cigarette. You have a bad day, you have a cigarette. You finish a task, you have a cigarette. A lot of smokers (EX-smoker for me, thank you) never learned how to cope with their emotions in any way other than having a cigarette. So not ony do I have to deal with the physical and psychological addictions, I also have to learn how to react like a normal human being without cigarettes. Oh well. No one ever told me this was going to be fun. At least that explains why I’ve been so dang crabby on and off since my quit date. I thought I was just turning into a hag.
