Birthday Month

Yay! It is once again my birthday month! A month long celebration of me! I have always loved my birthday, I hope I never take the cynical view that I am merely racking on the years. Yes, I am older but that doesn't suddenly happen on my birthday. Tomorrow I will be older than I am today, the same is true for next week, next month, the next 6 months. Instead of bemoaning the advancing years I prefer to celebrate the glorious event that was me 37 years ago.

I have no problem receiving birthday presents. If you would like to gift me feel free to look at my updated Christmas wish list blog Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. I am not expecting any however I think that fussily polite bit of etiquette is one more attempt at ignoring the obvious and so I ignore it. Give me presents, don't give me presents the point is the central theme. ME! ME! ME!

So far, no smoking. I will be taking my patch off around 8:00pm so that the flow of the stimulant drug nicotine does not disrupt my sleeping. If the urge to smoke becomes overwhelming I will allow myself one cigarette. The goal is still good and I will still be proud of myself whether I do or don't. It will either be a 100% or 95% cigarette free day. Tomorrow morning a new patch will go on and I will fight the impulse again without having to contend with actual craving. Despite my complete and total lack of nicotine withdrawal I still have to fight the impulse to reach for a cigarette. It really is a bitch of a habit.

Well, I'm off to do laundry and cruelly manipulate my Sims.

Happy Birthday Month to me....
