Oh, it's that time again.
Mar. 5th, 2003 10:08 amIt's my birthday.
I'm not really celebrating, because, special though ones birthday is supposed to be, it won't stop me doing a 12-hour working day today - just like most days in fact.
Today is also the first day of lent. In a moment of hubris, I've decided to try and give up booze for the duration. I know that I'm not going to succeed and I've already added a couple of riders to the resolution (I have to go out with clients for occasional drinks for my job, and so I know I'll get let down here), but I'll certainly manage a serious reduction to my intake.
What is everyone else giving up?

Date: 2003-03-05 05:30 am (UTC)there's plenty of things I should give up, but being an aetheist leaves me free to not think about them because of religion...apart from catholic guilt, natch ; )
btw, your other half is a meanie! I was in an ok mood 'til she mentioned Uncle Joe's passing away! *grin*
