Day 50 to 82

What were you excepting a daily blog? I was but here is the thing.  I am still trying to make enough to cover the bills.  No one wants to read about that, or write about it for that matter. Still there has be some little progress other then the disheartening realization you were right about the euro and had you had money you might be a little rich from trading. Still baby steps. It has been close to 2 weeks of not smoking now. That's right no smoking. This is a huge deal for me and if I can continue the money and heath benefits will be huge.  Cold turkey after a thousand retries and retries since day 50. This will be an over 25 year habit I am kicking. Two weeks = 140 bucks saved, which I spent on bills. (sigh). Crazy luxuries like food for my child and rent for the house.  The  old saw about stop drinking capachinos and become a millionaire doesn't work if you don't have any extras to start with. I am still Breakfast King for the family every morning when I am not doing a graveyard shift, quitting smoking, and start a summer season at Shakespeare at the Sea tomorrow.  I ain't rich yet but I am healthier so far.
