While this whole quitting business is not as difficult as it could be, I still sense some of the withdrawal, most notably when I get the "sweats." I also notice that I am a little easier to anger than usual, but some of that may be related to dealing with other issues, such as my choice of replacement habits. That discussion would cause tremendous stress, so I suppose I will let it go.
What news of the project? Hmm. Well, the books I listed last week barely got a peek, let alone any bids, so I reckon I will need to relist them after I post some items a bit more popular. I would love to get the guest room finished soon, if not for benefit of the project, but also to be able to point out that I can get something finished. Not that it would matter, as there is always something unfinished waiting to be pointed out. Still, I do feel it would be nice to get something done, even if it is only this post.

Day Eight, or a new Day One
Two little blue pills, one for AM and one for PM. Hehheh. If only. Anyhoots, for anyone who reads this and doesn't finally have the last week of posts figured out, last Sunday I started a new approach to getting rid of this decades old habit of mine. No, not that one. Smoking. I have quit twice before, but still managed to jump off the wagon, so I am hoping that this third time will be the charm. To be honest, I am not 100% resolved, but it is the closest I've ever been. Because of other factors relating to the nicotine addiction, I decided to try Chantix [now I'm an advertisement for them], as it does not use nicotine to control the problem. Nope, instead it screws around with my brain cells. Like that's something new. Seems to be working so far, although I have felt some withdrawal effects today, and I worry that the Mrs. will tire of my smoking substitutes of sleeping and Xboxing. I keep telling myself that all I need to do is fight the urge for, uhm, four days and things will be a bit easier.
Right.
OK, so I think I'll go exploring for a bit, then do some other things a bit more productive, all in the hopes that I can distract my brain from this topic.
