Cigarettes 92 thru 108

Worked today. Jacque was functional, tho' he is obviously starting to fade with the booze. Was drinking on the job, it looks like he's already to the point of hard detox if he doesn't keep his alcohol level up. I know what this is like, I've been there myself. Sometimes for years at a time. A decade and more, even. It gets to the point where you can't function without the booze, and you can't function with it, either.  I had what I came to call a window of opportunity: a short time frame in which I had drunk enough to function, and I hadn't yet drunk enough to be drunk. 
Five hours work, and it seems like eight or more. Physical labor has a way of doing that, if your doing it right. Couldn't bring myself to do much this afternoon, stretched, did some crunches, meditated for twenty minutes.
