Well, it’s day 3 of being on the patch and still I have only smoked once. My shirt actually smells not bad and I’m coughing a bit to get the plegm out. Ew. The patches are really helping, I only think about cigarettes now when I’m first in a situation where I would have smoked. I’m not partying any time soon, so there won’t be that situation to think about smoking. And then I will be in Scotland, and I won’t think about smoking anyway. Still, I am getting enough patches to get me through Scotland.

I’m pretty psyched about going. It’s my first BIG trip in a long time. I hope we can afford it, it seems insanely expensive. As insane as a psychosis though? Hmm, not quite.

Since I have nothing else to talk about, I will now list what I am taking with me on the plane:

The New Bottoming Book by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy
A sort of primer for BDSM bottoms in the ins and outs and dos and don’ts. Pretty useful.

NAVIGATING THE space Between Brilliance and Madness
A Reader and Roadmap of Bipolar Worlds
Assembled by the Icarus Project
It’s a sweet zine like collection of writings by other folks with bipolar and related disorders. It gave me a warm feeling when I picked it up in the store. Plus it’s realistic about meds, which was nice.

Best Lesbian Erotica 08 edited by Tristan Taormino
I think the last time I bought lesbian erotica was in the late nineties. It’s good to update my bookshelf.
