My Les Miserables of Smoking
I was thinking that I’m straying pretty far from smoking cessation–and the subject of this blog. Then I considered that for a majority of people, kicking the habit is not a straight, bumpless road. So, I plan to move forward with a new quit attempt and this blog.
Still in Florida. My sister was a shopper/pack rat/collector.
As a result, there’s a lot to be cleared out. Most books (but not her antique books about England) are ok. Clothes are ok. But favorite items of hers, like her extensive Lladro collection are so hard to deal with. It’s feels kind of like we’re erasing her existence.

Through all you’re going through straying from the ‘quit’ is certainly within understanding. That it is still one of the things at the forefront of your mind is remarkable. Best of luck when you feel ready for another attempt.
On the practical side - you mentioned the Lladro collection. Not knowing what it is, I looked it up. You’ve likely considered this but - how about choosing a couple of your/Meg’s favourites and offering the rest at auction for those others who appreciate the art,craft and beauty of it??
Just a thought. That’s what I’d like to see happen with my Remington bronze and a couple of other pieces. They’re for people who love them.
