Scratch that....I love being sick...

Being sick has actually turned out to be a good experience. It's facilitated quitting smoking, well at least it gave me a good start - the patch is starting it's job today. But more than that - I've lost 5 lbs. in three days! So maybe my immune system was just taking some time off - sufficient to tell me that I'm a fat ashtray and I need to treat my body better.

Well, hopefully my liver wasn't involved in the conspiracy - I'm still going to need him on my side. I may quit smoking, but by god I'll never give up alcohol. (Eww, that sounded kind of frat-trashy.)
