Not smoking cigarettes has cut into my pacing and thinking time.  I don't have to go outside so I just stay inside being productive thus eliminating empty space that would be filled with processing time.  Not smoking isn't even really hard this time around.  I could've said that about a lot of things.  Nothing is ever even really hard this time, it's like I'm getting further away from myself.  Angst is a lot less romantic when it's just about work or frustrating students or the dentist or whatever.  Always something you can't really put your finger on.  Most of the time I don't really give two shits.
