excess ain't rebellion - you're drinkin' what they're sellin'

There always seems to be a dead space in my mornings at work; a time where I honestly can't think of anything to do, so I turn to writing a daily email.
The person in the next cube must be having a bad day - she's banging around and closing her desk drawers loudly. I feel for her - it's not even 9am yet.
I was successful yesterday in not smoking at work. It was pretty easy. I hope it stays that way. I only had 3 cigarettes yesterday, which is unheard of for me, so that's good. Chantix is an interesting drug. I haven't necessarily lost my desire to smoke, but I'm not exactly motivated enough to make time for smoking either. Plus, every cigarette I've smoked in the last 24 hours has tasted absolutely nasty. I also blame Chantix for the constant sour stomach I seem to have lately and the numerous, very vivid, strange dreams I have been having. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I have had a ton of dreams, but can't really remember the whole dream, just bits and pieces. Strange.
Last night around midnight, the next door neighbors (who usually I really like) were having a knock-down drag-out fight. Not sure if there actually was any physical contact going on, but lots of slamming doors and screaming and yelling. I could actually hear exactly what the lady was screaming. It was pretty hurtful. I was hoping they would quiet down so I could actually fall asleep and then I felt bad for hearing all their fighting. Then again, maybe if they hadn't been screaming and yelling so loud, I wouldn't have heard what they were saying. What's worse is that they have a little boy. I feel bad for him having to hear that. Yikes...

I decided to work on some online training, but damn is it slow. It feels like I wait 5 minutes for it to check my answer on the section quizzes. Blah. That's what I'm waiting on right now.
Didn't take the time last night to see if I could fix my mp3 player, so I'm listening to CDs again today - still working through the CD case I keep in my car.

It is ultimately hard for me to listen to Peter, Paul and Mary at work because I want to sing along. *sigh* This shall be a test of my will. *flaming eyes of youth* Whenever I listen to Peter, Paul and Mary, I think of my mom in the kitchen, baking on a Saturday morning and singing along. Another baking/cooking favorite of my mom's was Barbara Streisand. I like to listen to Babs when I'm baking now, too. *rolls eyes* It drives Nailz nuts, so she hides in her room. Gomen ne, Nailz-san!! Hontoni gomen ne!

I'm about to eat a HotPocket for the first time in my life. I'm kind of excited. It's one of the fancy croissant ones. What will it be like? I feel like I'm about to step into a whole new world - but I have to wait 2 minutes first (per the carton instructions).

The HotPocket wasn't that great and it was tiny to boot. I'm not displeased, but don't think I will be buying any in the future. I'm following it up with some strawberry-banana yogurt. I'm not a big fan of anything that is strawberry-banana flavored, but it was cheaper to get 4 of s-b flavor and 4 of the peach flavor than to just get 2 4-packs of peach. So meh...
Tonight, I have to vacuum the apato. It hasn't been done in a couple of weeks. I have just been too lazy. :( Ah well, guess that's all for today's random post!
