i'm awake!

well, i had been hunkered down under my comforter fast asleep... dreaming of the snow that's heading our way... smiling in my slumber because i am working from home today and won't have to deal with the commute...

anyway, i digress... sleep, warm, happy.

*COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!*

eh? huh? i crack open one eye.....


then i hear the *click**fffffffsssssss* followed by a short exhale....

followed by:

*COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!*

mom's awake... i am 3/4 awake... usually the click and suck of her Bic and lighting up her True Menthol King startles me awake....

although 98% of the time i am awakened by the feeling of my throat closing and the air escaping - while my lungs are filled with cigarette smoke... and that's when i wake up with smoker's cough...

about 8 years ago (before i moved up to jersey city - and consequently, back down) i went for a check-up and the doc asked me "how long have you been smoking?"

lovely. i think i have had a total of 3 cigarettes in my life (nicoteen fits about 10 years ago)... but a total of 4 packs of secondhand smoke per day since i was born.

really hoping she quits. my clothes smell like i've been traipsing around the bars...

wait! 98% of the bars are non-smoking now... feck! i can't even use that excuse for why i am stankin' of ciggies.

that's my morning rant. too tired to be witty. going back to sleep... hmmmm.... maybe i can slap an air ionizer on my amazon wish list!!

***weather update: no snow yet... although i do see water droplets on the tree branches outside***
