Deliverance
October 01, 2003
So FedEx pulled through and delivered my new pda keyboard 26 hours ahead of its estimated delivery time. It’s great. The company also sent me a Handheld Computing magazine. Not only is it chock full of writeups about cool gadgets and toys, it’s also in English. Although English literature isn’t uncommon by far in this country, interesting literature is. So I’m thankful for that too.
I’m coughing a lot. The coughing is caused by postnasal drip which is probably caused by dust or mold or some other bacterial substance in my apartment. Even after very tough cleaning, my nose is still clogged and perpetually running. I didn’t want to aggravate my coughy lungs so I decided to stop smoking. I’m on day 3. At first, I thought I’ll just stop temporarily, at least until my cough goes over but I’ve decided to go for the full blown QUIT SMOKING. Day 3. I’ve had many tough moments. None of you non-smokers will ever understand that temptation, nor should you get all preachy either. Every smoker knows the consequences of smoking. People who preach about smoking should be rounded up with preachy vegetarians and put into big boiling cauldrons of oil or something.
Anyway, I’m hoping I won’t cave in and have one cigarette anytime soon because 1 leads to 2, and so on. I’m going strong though. If I can stop smoking at work, then I’m pretty much in the clear as I smoked about 90% at work anyway. Eri also said if I can quit for a month, then she’ll quit too. So, I’m also doing this for her too. I rule.
Wish me luck.
