In which there’s a barely organized ramble to get you up to date.

Health

I relaunched “Operation: Quit Smoking” on the 25th. It sucks and I hate it.

All I want to do is eat and sleep and never go anywhere or do anything that reminds me of smoking, because nic fits suck, but of course that’s unreasonable. I was miserable between sets at Saturday’s gig because every cell in my body wanted to go outside and smoke, and no the nicotine gum didn’t help AT ALL.

Seriously, though, in spite of my words my attitude is pretty good… I just want to complain because quitting is hard. Here are my notes on the process. There’s a link to my daily diary if you’re interested in that level of detail.

Did I mention that it SUCKS? Good. Because I hate it! Rar!

My band has entered into a contest to play at the Crossroads blues festival in Chicago this September. It’s all very exciting.

I’ve seen the Wolf a few times since we broke up, and he’s been totally cool about it. I’m both grateful and relieved.

Want to add some music to your library? Apropos of nothing, I posted a lovely mix here this morning. Have at it!

The Curse has arrived.

I still don’t have a job.

It’s totally spring here.

    Captain Crab quit smoking at the end of January with the use of Chantix. He hasn’t wanted a cigarette really, but one would think he really wanted whopped up the side of the head. It is a total asshole pill. He has been to the doctor once a week with various complaints. When he normalizes, I am going to start the drug so I can have a free pass to assholery.

    Wow. That sounds lovely. Where “lovely” = “I am so glad I’m not married.” LOL! -m

    I thought I could waltz over here and get caught up on the past few weeks in ten minutes or less, but here I am registering for this and that, uploading avatars, voting, listening to music. Quite the interactive blog you’re running here.

    I just want you to feel like you’re getting your money’s worth, dearheart. -m
