i am still dealing with the passport thing, which is easy to worry about. anything with government agencies makes me anxious. what if i don't have the right paperwork? is an example of something i worry about.

work is more or less the same. i still feel angry at them for checking up on us all the time. people at work have noticed my "quiet attitude". i'm just not interested in engaging with the bosses except when i have to.

my smoking is bad, not much progress there, i've actually relapsed a bit into old patterns.

that's all for me today.

love,
rich

Hi Rich

Thanks for the update I hope you get your passport sorted out soon and I know what you mean re dealing with government agencies. When I worked I used to do the same and just keep myself to myself do you enjoy your work?

Giving up smoking is tough but worthwhile so keep at it.

Thanks hibernation for your support. Just trying to get through another work day. On Saturday I will just go see what happens at the passport agency and pray for acceptance. Do

Hey Rich
Tomorrow is Friday- yeeeeeehaw! I'm just as glad as you to end the work week.

I often wish people at work would stop noticing when I'm in a quiet give me space mode. Our office is small so everyone is always up in your business.

Go online and find out what you need to bring to get your passport and just make sure you bring it all with you. Most agencies have people so bored and uninterested in their jobs they will just want to pass you through- don't sweat it- you'll be fine!

Smoking- what you are missing is the deep inhale exhale. Try taking some nice deep breaths of fresh air when you get a craving and applaud yourself for not inhaling toxic substances from a cigarette. You can do it! You have to be ready to quit. Sometimes you have to be realistic to whether or not it is possible to be disciplined enough at the moment to make the commitment. Obviously we are all anxious here and can't use that as an excuse to smoke but if recently you have been extraordinarily stressed out then now is not the time to try and break the bad habit. Keep it in your back pocket.
