Counter Measures
In a conscious attempt to undo the mean and the damage of the mean I'm going to catch up on this, I'm way behind.
A Smile A Day in 2007:

Hey Kittyn,
Sorry I haven’t been by to offer encouragement and moral support lately, it’s been a little crazy. Not crazy bad, just crazy crazy. I graduate in ten weeks (as one of my favorite former professors just reminded me in passing) and I am trying to make absolutely sure I don’t screw it up. Oh, yes.. I am fully capable. Anyway, I’ve been putting all this additional pressure on myself and you know what? I feel like smoking. I have on and off for the last few weeks, but ltely it’s even more pronounced. I won’t… it’s been nearly a year - but it sure sounds good for a minute.
Three weeks is huge! The worst should be over, but remember not to let your guard down. Life has a way of popping up at the most inopportune times. Hang in there, you’re worth it.

The Winter Bells game is pure, undiluted happiness bottled in a jar of mirth. I only discovered recently that the game has sound.
Continued luck on the no smokage.
