I dreamed I was eating a cookie. All of a sudden someone called out that it was chocolate chip. And I was left trying to figure out if I should spit out the rest of the cookie, which was still mostly in cookie form, or if the damage had already been done and just to swallow the rest. And because others were watching I did indeed spit out the chocolate chip cookie. I looked at the package it came from. It had been two cookies in one package. I had already eaten the first cookie without incident. Mislabled or misread, the package contained one chocolate chip cookie and one plain jane cookie.

Odd, how much deciding to give up chocolate for the year affects me. I've done quite well with it actually. I was afriad that I'd forget and it'd slip my mind until the chocolate was already being savored in my mouth. But that hasn't happened yet. I've managed to stick with it. Unfortunately, it's hasn't meant that I've totally given up sweets. Though I don't really care for other had candies, I've found they're better than nothing. I have to pick non-chocolatey flavors for my ice cream! That bites. I can't share in the monthly office birthday cake. No real hardship there. But so many things that just hadn't occurred to me. Partly a test of will power, test of memory, and just being able to follow through.
