Shhhh, the sun is out

I am going to try to sit on my deck for a while and soak up some sun, last time I did that, last week, the sun disappeared, the temperature dropped, and then it started pouring.  It's a secret...I am going to do something for myself and if the Nicodemon hears that, he will probably send down bolts of lightning.  I had such terrible cravings yesterday when I was grocery shopping that I had a really tough time and then I kept smelling smokers walk past me and hearing smokers coughing that unmistakable cough and I felt like I was getting someplace on this trek to freedom...the neverending road.  I did not smoke, I will not smoke today, I am stacking them up, slowly but surely.  Hope everyone has a great day!
