I'm starting to feel some withdrawal symptoms...foggy brain and crabbiness. Had a foggy brain incident earlier today. Went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner. Was in the self checkout line, had a problem with one of the items ringing up. Worker was not very nice and barked at me to use the hand-held scanner. That didn't work so I asked her to help. She had to do it all by hand. I finished scanning my items and paid. Now, there have been a couple of times in my life where I have left my stuff at the checkout and walked away. What I ended up doing today was much worse. Instead of going to my car to unload the groceries...which over many years I am programmed to do...I went directly to where you take your empty cart and left the cart...only my groceries were still in it. When I got to my car, all of a sudden, I was thinking where is my food? I looked all over my car and didn't see the bags. I ran in the store to the checkout area...no bags. Went to the crabby, unhelpful lady and told her that I thought I left my groceries in the store, did she see them? No she said in a very nasty tone...I really felt like smacking her across the face or stomping on her foot. I went back outside and went to all of the cart return areas that were anywhere in the vicinity of my car. As I approached one that was a little bit further away, I saw a few bags in one of the carts. I was thinking what the hell is wrong with me? Am I losing my mind? And then it dawned on me. I'm on day 3 or 4 of 1/3 less nicotine. I have the foggy brain syndrome. Damn! I was hoping to get out of all of that shit!
So, I didn't feel like I needed an SOS but I did feel the need to vent. I feel much better now. Oddly, during my issues earlier today, I didn't really feel a desire to smoke. I did feel frustrated but it was aimed at some unknow thing...very strange!
