there's a full grocery run in progress in windsor...

i got my ground flax seeds, though - and some apple juice. for now. ground flax is pretty cheap, relative to hemp hearts or nutritional yeast - $3.00 for an amount that will probably last 2-3 months.

there were 0 cigarettes bummed when i was out on wednesday, which gets me to two weeks of total cold turkey, after scaling back to almost nothing in mid-august (which was necessary after catching myself falling back into it). i wanted to do some cleaning when i got in, but the smell from upstairs is currently pretty awful. 

i expect this round of cold turkey to be similar to the one that set in from mid-2018 to mid-2019, which was ten months; i have no expectation, at this point, to hit any shows until the spring and, as such, do not expect any intoxicant use, at all.

i still haven't touched that 40 of vodka. since march. but, that was never a problem for me. more interesting to note is that i haven't touched those edibles yet - and will soon, i think. i wanted to completely clear it, first, and had penciled in the beginning of october...

remember: the purpose of the edibles, from my perspective, is to entirely eliminate casual tobacco usage (i quit habitual use in 2016 and was still dragging around occasional or social use, which i'm trying to stamp out permanently). i just need to see how it feels first. if it feels fine, the smoking is permanently over, forever - no exceptions.

so, i'm going to try to get a few loads of laundry in and go from there. is the smell going to recede? if so, i can start doing some fall cleaning. if not, we've got a serious problem on our hands and i'm going to have to think outside of the box to try to fix it.
