The Catcher In The Rye. J.D. Salinger

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."

Blood Pressure Med's, Nicotine and...Root Beer Candy

Doctor trying to put ole' girl on blood pressure medicine, but I really want to explore a different route first. I mean, everytime I see her, I am running from work pumped up on adrenaline and coffee....it is time I lay more bad habits down.  I  was given a mild prescription for that and a prescription to help quit smoking.
I am serious about making changes across the board. I never really smoked full time anyway, so the plan is to give it a go without any assistance first. My coworker mentioned that she quit smoking by sucking on A&W Root Beer barrels. Something about the strong taste that got her through it. I swear, I haave smoked more in the last two or three years than I ever had since I started. It is time. I feel ready.

And no, I will never put the coffee down. That addiction will just have to stay.
