I can't believe I've been sucking it up for so long it never occurred to me that we should move to make life easier for me…

Even though we have grounds to break the lease without penalty, I kinda doubt my husband will want to move any time soon because he's lazy. He did ask a friend to ask his friend who owns a property management company if he has anything available, but I don't know if anything will come of it…

We have 3 cats, smoke, and are looking for a place that's easy for me to access. It's a tall order. Most places will be okay with the cats, but most places that are handicap accessible are 55+ or really expensive, and most places have gone smoke-free. I think we will have to learn to live with smoking outside because it will be a big sticking point.

I don't know when they're coming to fix my ceiling, but I've been showering every morning so I'll be ready in case they come. They're supposed to provide me notice so I can take everything out of the BR (including the shower curtain) and lock up the cats, but I don't trust that they will do that. I stopped by the office to reload my laundry card and the assistant office manager told me that the head of maintenance will be handling the job. I don't know if it's because I'm a pain in the *** and I called the health department, or because the job will be difficult because of the water damage to the adjoining wall. I don't know, and I don't care as long as it gets done.

When I saw my pdoc on Monday she said she went to a conference and sat through a lecture dealing with the subject of using supplements to treat OCD. She said that she wanted to do some more research on the subject, but that she thought that it was something I could definitely benefit from. I see her in a month and she'll discuss a plan with me then.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about quitting smoking because of the pneumonia. I started when I was 13 and have been smoking for 23 years with the exception of the occasional attempt to quit. I'm going to switch to e-cigarettes after this carton. I tried them years ago, but it was a lousy brand and they were a constant frustration, so I abandoned them. They're supposed to be much better now… if you buy a brand that doesn't have a history of exploding.
