I've been watching the seasons change here in Scotland too, but if I'd never seen it before I can't even imagine how great it would be. I'm envious of your first autumn experience! Loving your work.

I'm in a similar situation as you are with the smoking and exercise thing, although I haven't been as vigilant about quitting cigarettes as you have. I gave up nicotine when my boyfriend did in March, but I still keep a pack around "just in case" when I'm feeling weak. When I first started jogging a couple months ago, my legs felt like they were going to fall off, my lungs burned, and I felt like I was going to puke. But I have been doing it regularly and now I can comfortably jog 4 miles! It takes me about 40 minutes, so not great time, but it's something! I plan to start off small and run a 5K, and eventually a marathon. Keep up the good work!! Good job Beet!

You write like David Sedaris when he's writing about his life during the hard parts. You put me to shame, and it upsets me yet thrills me. Blast you.

You put me to shame, and it upsets me yet thrills me.
Blast you.

Question: When you said "I can change in patches,.." were you speaking metaphorically about the leaf patches or were you speaking sarcastically about the nicotine patches? Or both??? Excellent story!
