Thursday. Hmmm.

Third day in a row without a cigarette, a total of sixteen smokeless days in 2004 so far. savings so far: �38.40

Am only having slight cravings, and when they do appear, I go off and do something until they bugger off. I'm having a pretty tedious, albeit productive, time of it at the moment. I mean productive in the sense of getting some decent lesson planning going and being (or trying to be) proactive in sorting out my financial situation. Just organising the paperwork has been useful. Now, if I could get my backside round to doing some real creative work, I'd be happy.

I haven't been getting to bed till 1.30/2.00 the last few days, a result of which is my feeling and looking pretty crap. Despite my tiredness, I find it difficult to get to sleep. I've spent far too long instead netsurfing. Chat rooms are strange *places*: I can't see the point, really, unless they're on a fairly specialised topic. Most of the conversations are inane to the point of catatonia. One chatroom I visited purported to be for university/college lecturers: For some strange reason, I became involved in a conversation with a woman whose boyfriend had apparently become wedged solid inside his pet dog whilst buggering it. Well, it brightened up an otherwise dull evening, I suppose.
