I have made it one week! Yesterday was even more of a victory, as I went to the bar to watch a couple of college football games after work and didn’t light up even once. I won’t lie and say it didn’t cross my mind (like, every three minutes), but I didn’t. And that’s what counts. Today my NFL team doesn’t play until later, so I’ve got an exciting day planned of cleaning and figuring out what leftovers should be eaten and what ones should be tossed. This looks like my last hurrah for summer, as mid-week works picks up again and doesn’t appear to slack off until around Christmas. Money coming in will be good!
