What about it?
  i don't know. i was told to make a resolution...something about helping with healthy coping...
That might be a good idea. It's been a...weird year for you.
  yeah...
Do something dumb and obvious. Quit smoking.
  ...I quit 7? years ago.
Oh yeah, right. Drinking?
  i'll be coming up on 9 months dry...don't think i can...you know...start over...
True. Um what are some other ones. Exercise? Lose weight? New diet.
  i already do what i can with my neuropathy...and i already lost 35 pounds, i mean, they said i'd lose the 20 gained from the coma, hospital, whatever...but i'm suppose to tell them if i hit below 160...i'm getting...really close...
What happens at 160?
  didn't say...i should probably ask...
Well...you could quit drinking coffee? less sweets?
  i quit drinking coffee during the summer, that weird sugar-tooth phase i went through is gone. i can't stand it anymore.
Floss?

    did you just turn this into something positive?
     ...how do you do that...
*smiling*
You've rubbed off on me.
  ehh... you should rephrase that...
I noticed you haven't hurt yourself either
  ...
And didn't you say Christmas wasn't even THAT bad?
  ...
All i'm saying is to stop worrying about dumb stuff like that.
