Day Five - Getting Ready For The Weekend

I really want to buy a pack of smokes and a twelve-pack, but I'm not going to. Old Friday afternoon habits are hard to break.

Instead, I'll go home, change, load the dog into the truck, and take him down to the yacht club to let him crap on the grass - he loves that (and yes, I clean up after him). I'll make sure to pack some sunflower seeds, which really help take my mind off smoking.

After that, I'll go back home, do some housework, and then report to my second job in my back office. I've been working from 5 - 9p.m. this week and that's helped keep me from cracking open a beer, although I did drink a bottle of pinot noir last night after work while watching game 5 of the ALCS championship.

My girlfriend is coming over at 9:00 p.m. She smokes and drinks, but has been good about not smoking around me. My challenge tonight is to enjoy a glass or three of wine without busting into her smokes.

Wish me luck.
