I’m quitting quitting quitting smoking (trust me, it makes sense. Mostly I just wanted to share my headache with you). Last Sunday I convinced myself that it was okay to smoke, because on Sundays Lent doesn’t count. Obviously, my actual goal is to quit permanently (except, perhaps, occasionally smoking socially), and allowing myself one day a week where all rules go out the window is NOT HELPFUL. I smoked way, way less than usual during the week (averaging about 1-2 cigarettes per day), but each time I just felt like more of a failure, which is a rotten way to feel. So, here’s to starting fresh. I haven’t smoked since Friday, and I’m officially done, always, regardless of Lent. Hopefully marijuana will be legalised soon, I could use some healthy stress relief. (I’m not just saying that to be flippant, the writing is on the wall: check out this TED talk with neurologist Dr. Dean Ornish).

The next few weeks will be so busy, I am tired just thinking about it. I have to pack, clean the house, plan several different events, apply for jobs, and hopefully make some extra money. I’m not terribly excited about it.
