Really weird day.

I already complained about the microwave, but today has been so strange. I hit my head at work today and had to fill out an incident report. They go nuts with it where I work, and I ended up sitting in a conference room, having all my vitals checked by the EMT they sent out to me. At this point, my head hurt, I was extremely embarrassed, and there was no convenient place to hide. All of this is for a little freakin bruise, but I like my job, and since said bruise is on my forehead where everyone can see it, and I would like to keep my job, reports must be filed. Anyway, after five days of not smoking, I found myself having trouble resisting the urge, until the EMT said, "well, at least your not a smoker." This was after getting my pulse rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, all perfect. So with all the little things that have went wrong today, they have all been improved upon by the fact that I no longer smoke, and I now have proof of just how quickly my body is beginning to heal itself. That man has no idea how much he gave me today, and I didn't either, not until I got home and had a minute to unwind and think for a minute. Today has been such a roller coaster ride, but it's kinda been a wake up call. Not only were the bad things not really all that bad, they were much better than they would have been if I were still smoking. That thought "this would be so much easier with a smoke" is such a lie, I can't believe I've never seen it before. Now all I have to do is remember it!
