*Pulls Naoko out of the wall, slipping and falling into the hot tub*
Oh dahlink! Mind the Merlot! Steve doesn't seem to have drunk it all. Poor thing, what a start(/finish?) to the day. At least the coffee's nice.
I'm making makka kappi for the Fella and Piglet to take as packed lunch to music college, anyone want some?
LOL, I know. But what cracked it for me was when I realised that was all just fantasy. The truth was that it was an addiction, I got up and lit up a cigarette not feeling sexy and don't fuck with me, but Get out the fucking way, where is my cigarette?!!!. Whereas nowadays I wake up and look at the morning light and feel like, mmmm, I will go on AH and have a little flirt.
Honestly, I don't mind addiction. I don't have an addictive personality, otherwise I'd be raving, chain-smoking alcoholic who spends hours a day downloading porn. But I truly enjoyed smoking. It was a respite, an excuse to take a break and pace back and forth on the porch while I let my thoughts coalesce.
And then . . . .
I have to admit, it was the Little One who convinced me. Not directly. But I happened to overhear a conversation between her and my wife one day.
"Smoking is bad," my daughter said.
"Yes it is," my wife said.
"But Daddy does it."
". . . yes, he does."
"He knows how to do it so it doesn't kill him, right?"
". . . . "
Now, I know the figures, and the facts. My risk of contracting a fatal condition due to smoking is about the same as being hit by a car. Yeah, the stats regarding people who die every year from smoking are terrible, but not exactly overwhelming. Believe it or not, the majority of lifelong smokers make it to the average life expectancy.
But I just don't want to encourage my little girl to take up a habit that might potentially cut her life short. There may be no history of cancer on my side of the family, but there is on her mother's.
I'm sure it's delightful, but ain't a clue what it is.
*bobs up from the water* I'm good. Come on in, the water's fine.
Here we are. I't's just rice wrapped in seaweed with cucumber in the middle. Would you like some? Tasty with soy sauce:
A lot of moms say the same thing about smoking, it's their one chance to have a break and be on their own - particularly now they feel they shouldn't smoke in front of little ones so they go outside and get to leave the noise and demands for five minutes.
I guess you have to find another little space for yourself? Mine is on here, I come here and have a laugh. Same thing - I can't do it with little one peering over my shoulder! so it's my own space. I also like to go and walk to the bottom of the garden, sometimes to hang out the clothes, sometimes just to breathe the fresh air (but not today as it's raining - oh, well, maybe; rain is good too .)
Oh I want one! Yummy!
Enough for everyone! (These ones have avocado in too.)

It wouldn't be the same. No, I have to alter my patterns and come up with a different diversion, a different way of focusing myself. Walking, working, etc . . . blah. That doesn't take the place of it for me. I just have to shift my cravings to something else. It's different for everyone.
How very erm. . . . visual.
Got any nice sausages to go with the eggs & toast?
Bless you, me deareo.
Just the job [I don't often do 'foreign' foods]
You might save a few of those appi kappi things for Molly and the Bear.
I think it might be a bit late! John and Willie seemed very enthusiastic. I'll try to bring some more salmon in later. Bears like salmon, don't they? Although usually leaping up the waterfalls rather than lying quietly on the plate, LOL.

OK, what the Hell happened last night? Last thing I remember was sitting in a hot tub full of Merlot with a hot chick next to me (which combination, by the way, made an already good Friday even better... ), next thing I awake up in an empty bath with a dude opposite...
I'm never drinking an entire tub again...
*mumble mutter coffee mumble grumble *
Oh, sorry... Morning, everyone.
