My god what a long day at work. I was getting so sidetracked in my though processes. I just kept seeing the image of Nemo from this morning in my minds eye while the client was asking me questions about things to do with RF interference and the 2.4 gig Nemo handsets on the 802.11 abcess. He asked me if they had to put the...

Smoke-Free: 3 days, 7 hours, 11 minutes and 13 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 82
And then comes the tester. I was so pleased to have woken up this morning, the morning of the 4th day cold turkey. I've certainly done this enough over the years to know that making it to day 4 completely cold turkey is a big deal.
Sure, I've tried to quit...

*hugs* for you and your kitty. 
Very awesome about the smoking though. I'm very proud of you.

I made a little list of things for me to do today.
It included dealing with the piles of stuff I still have in various areas of my apartment. I cant believe how many months its really taken for me to dwindle all this Stuff down to these few piles. And I cant honestly even remember what I have thrown out so far, so I...

If you're interested in losing that chocolate craving, I'd recommend taking an L-Glutamine supplement (5-10g/day). I use it as a bodybuilding supplement to help recover tissue and to counter the effects the heavy workouts have on my immune system. It has an amazing side effect though of virtually eliminating all cravings for sugar. This doesn't seem to be well documented, but I've always noticed it myself, and have recommended it to a few friends who had problems with eating excessive amount of sugar and it worked well for them too. It's not expensive, I usually use Optimum Nutrition caps.
Just something to look into if the chocolate cravings start getting out of hand.

Thats 59 hours, but Im not counting. I ate cookie after cooookie while watching the shining last night. Not scary. I wasn't scared. I sure as...

See, aren't cookies so much better than smoking?

You can do it man!
I dont think I am going to be having much to say for a while.
I want to say I have been out of coffee around here for a week now. I am only drinking green tea at home now. I miss my juggernaut carafe of Dark French Italian. I would drink 6 to 10 cups before even leaving the apartment in the morning, but...

man that This Mortal Coil cd.....
I smelled it: my old apartment. I mean I really actually inhaled it.
The first few bars of "Kanga-roo" and my very next closed eyed inhalation was of an old incense I used to burn. Haven't smelled that stuff in 21 years.
As the cd played on, It really had a strange effect on me.

Hey, thanks so much for your comment, it means allot.
It's funny, I was hesitant about unloading such a lengthly journal entry but thought of your frequent voluminous, wordy missives, and thought "what the hell, I'll do it pica_pica style".

Such sophistication. I myself am listening to "High Enough" by the brilliant-yet-oft-overlooked Damn Yankees, and I can smell my junior high multipurpose room (the MPR, of course.)
I'm leaving early today. It's a nice morning out there by the looks of it, and I want to get Morgan a bit more of his usual cursory walk around the block.
Then I want to stop half way to work somewhere... somewhere with a patio and fresh coffee. (both of which I lack) and I want to sit in the warmth of the rising...

Ok, so Im saving $4.50 / day riding my bike to work instead of taking the bus.
My bike is environmentally friendly, Im not supporting OPEC, its exercise, and I really love the sight of the ocean that I ride along side every morning as a mindclearing start to the day.
This morning, however, I suddenly appreciated the benefit of driving in a heated, enclosed...

We had closure. I'll tell you about it some day over a guinness, when I come out there. Then we'll talk about happier things.
I'm glad you're feeling groovy, my boy. I like the photodocumentary journal style. It flows. Hey, there's no snow there! You bastards!
I think I owned that TMC at one point. That reminds me of my favourite Cocteau Twins album, Treasure. *sighs remembering*

Leonard Cohen be the bomb son, word.
I too was a pack and a half a day kind of guy (but for 15 years). I can honestly say that it isn't as bad as I thought it would be going cold turkey, but it definately is not easy.
And yes I can already notice a difference in my breathing!! It's fantastic!!
Stay strong.
It's not easy.
It's worthwhile, but it's not easy.
Unless you're at one of the easy points.
But then it's hardly worth your while.
Comfort, strength and peace.
