it's a hard time waiting for tomorrow, it's a long, long way home0813 hrs:
Ah. FINALLY FRIDAY! *v. happy* I hope today goes quickly.
When I came in to work this morning, I was the first person here. It was strange because I was only 2 minutes early. As per usual, I went in to the kitchen to put my lunch in the fridge and to cut up my morning apple. When I came back to my desk, miraculously everyone was here as if they had been here all this time (even though it was only a few minutes that I was in the kitchen).
I'm listening to John Denver right now. I forget how much I really enjoy this album, especially track 6, "Prisoners". Some people can't stand him, but I really like him. I grew up listening to a lot of folk, showtunes and classic rock. I remember how I felt like a big dork when I was in grade school, because when I would try talking about Simon & Garfunkel, the other kids would look at me like they had no idea what I was talking about. Simon & Garfunkel was one of my very favorites when I was younger. I still like them quite a bit, even if I don't listen to them very often anymore...

Just took my morning break. Still not smoking, so I take a few moments to get up, walk around, refill my water glass and stretch. Today is technically my 3rd day smoke-free. It's going pretty well I would say. Every once in a while there is a bit of a temptation to have a cigarette, but I get over it pretty quickly as long as I distract myself. Also, have been finding things many times a day that I enjoy about not being a smoker any more. Little things; like my fingers and hands not smelling like stale smoke, my clothes still smell fairly fresh at the end of the day, I only stop at the gas station to buy gas, etc. All these things really help to reinforce the idea of not going back to smoking. I think in the past I subconsciously thought that the quit wouldn't stick, but this time feels different. This weekend will probably be a big challenge because of the Henry Rollins show and then the Halloween party on Saturday night. For me, going out and drinking has always involved smoking, so we will see how that goes. Can I count on your support, Nailz??

Apparently, my bowels are not very happy with me. I wonder what I did to piss them off? It might be the Chantix, but who knows? I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary, so maybe they're just being temperamental.
I can't believe it's almost 11 already! This makes me fairly happy, but it could go faster. *sends Time a hint* Tonight, Nailz and I are going to see Henry Rollins!! How awesome is that? I'm a Henry virgin, so I'm kind of nervous, but am sure it will be a fantabulous time. Nailz has seen Henry live before, so I know I can trust in her guidance!
and everywhere i go, there's always something to remind me of another place and time where love had traveled far and found me1254 hrs:
In the past, I always ate lunch at my desk and surfed the net. Recently, I have taken up eating in the lunch room with the other ladies. I used to not like it, but now I really quite enjoy it. It feels like more of a break to sit and chat about random stuff - plus we get some good laughs out of it too.
Alas, my lunch was over 3 minutes ago, so I should save this and come back later. *sigh*
