right on bro!

Okay, so the marching band only lasted for about 30 minutes. I have no idea what the hell they were doing out on the street. Obviously some sort of parade, but for what?

Spent today cleaning apartment, doing laundry, handling bills. Got my car washed for the first time this month - it still had dust from Twentynine Palms on it.

Speaking of Twentynine Palms, I spent part of today looking into real estate out there. Apparently you can buy about five acres with an old post-WWI abandoned shack for about $10,000-$15,000. Like, there are lots of these around, all around the Navy base. If it doesn’t cost too much to renovate the shack, I’m thinking about building a small house for weekend retreats, since I’m pretty much priced out of the market here in Los Angeles. We’ll see.

I have officially not smoked any cigarettes for one week now. The cravings really eased up late this week, and I stopped popping Nicorette on a regular basis. But they’re back tonight with a vengeance, and I wonder if that’s because I don’t regular amounts of nicotine coming through my system. Ouch.
