I still don't want kids, and I enjoy having a sibling who procreated because now nobody cares as much that I am single and childless.

I'm starting my new role on Thursday. Still have no idea what I'm doing! I have some anxiety about that, but I'm trying not to freak out about it too much. Of course, I also seem to have a sinus infection that's making me mildly miserable, so right now I'm just drinking a lot of herbal tea and making a lot of last minute decisions before we turn off the lights on my old product this Wednesday.

I've made it 10 months without smoking! My dad keeps trying to quit and recently went back to it again. I'm pretty sure I'm done since I can't handle the smell now. One bad habit broken. Now I just need to figure out how to get more sleep and eat less.

msbelle, I'm glad that G feels like he has enough Chosen Family to celebrate.

Today is the last day of this bout of PD and tomorrow Grace has surgery. I am tired thinking about the fact that I have to go back to work in two weeks. Too exhausting to contemplate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow! Good for you, shrift! I think they are upping the price by a dollar here, which means I should really quit this time, but I don't wanna.

Because books.

That's awesome, shrift. I need to quit, too. Jesse, maybe we should quit together?

But not quite yet.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure prices went up to $11 a pack here in Chicago, which was a small factor in quitting for me. I mean, I could afford it, but it made me cranky. Plus people were aggressive about asking for cigarettes and now I get a lot less street harassment.

I'm not sure what tipped me over from Not Quite There to Let's Do This Thing. I guess I'd been thinking about it for a while and then I got the Lord Voldemort of colds, so I figured I'd quit while I was already miserable.

My *problem* is that cigarettes are still relatively cheap here in PA.

Of course, that's over still $5, and I remember when they were $1 a pack.

I definitely bought two packs when I was in PA over the weekend, and wished I had gotten more!

But, you know... I can't quit before I go to Vegas in a few weeks....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I will support people quitting in any way I can and of course you can quit anytime Jesse.
