a break

it's time to take a break from alcohol and mcdonald's. it's not like i've been drinking all that much; it just feels like time to remove that variable from my life for a little while and focus on important things. as far as mcdonald's goes -- well, first of all, i feel a little guilty about the health factor. more importantly, though, if i'm getting fast food often, it means that i'm not making time to sit down and have real meals. quality time with myself and/or others to eat and enjoy the food is good for me, and i know the consequences of not doing it.
