I need to quit smoking and obviously I’m leaving it till the last minute.  I called a couple of acupuncture places today and got their voicemail.  I didn’t leave a message.  I hate leaving messages.  But I need to quit smoking.  At least for the duration of the next surgeries.  Bargaining isn’t working, neither is calculating the amount of money I’ll save or the toys I could buy myself, or the health aspects of it.  I’ll call the acupuncture places on Monday again.  Right after my appointment with the surgeon.
