it is may.

it has been for a week now.

it is 2006.

it has been for a little over four months now...

here are a few things that have become "normal", although I do not remember when they became so...

my body doesn't heal nearly as fast. since I've stopped working out I've noticed an increase in several vital statistics. since I've stopped stretching [period] I've noticed a decrease in my flexibility.

I can't drink heavily four nights in a row and expect to function correctly the following mornings... of course, I'm not sure that I could ever do that because during the time period that I thought I was capable, it probably was more the fact that I didn't have to do anything [like work or school] the next morning, so essentially I could have just slept through the mornings thus avoiding noticing how bad they would have been...

I enjoy not going to the bar and not coming home smelling like smoke and not having an $80 plus bar tab...

I enjoy sleeping with my spouse. I enjoy not having the alarm wake me up in the morning. I would like very much to not talk to neighbors who like to complain about noise, about the lawn, about blah blah blah because they have nothing better to do than take care of their lawn or sleep.

I enjoy home cooked food, spending time with my family, and not paying for gas...

I enjoy vacation. I enjoy zero stress.

... ... ...

on that note.

later!
