karatefairy hops in the wagon

this is how it is going to begin. with a journey and a test.

everybody gives up something for lent. everybody cheats, stumbles, falls, tries again, skips on friday, counts the days, quits, tries again. I just want to record how it goes. I'm going to try to get on the wagon, dry up, sober up, clear my head, clear my body, and see how it feels to teetotal. for 40 days. well, 40 days plus sundays. I'm no catholic--I just thought I'd give it a try.

so far, so good. I am beginning not utterly confident, but sober, at least. there is a half-drunk bottle of shiraz on the counter. it's funny, I could go either way. I could pour it straight down the drain or I could gobble it down, right now, at 11:08 am. I think I'll just let it sit for a bit.

39 days, 13 hours to go.
