WELL, IT'S HUMP DAY

I'm going into my third day of getting back into the swing of things, after being off of work for 2 weeks and quite honestly, it's not as bad as it normally is. I'm normally grumpy and miserable. You know, the not wanting to go back blues....
I'm not feeling that way this time. I don't know if that's good or bad. There was a slight difference in my time off this time. I WAS COMPLETELY ALONE. Normally, I have some company once in a while but not this time. I must admit that it was rather nice but I also have to admit that being alone like, ALL THE TIME can get old. At least for me it can. I mean, if I were to go out more I suppose it wouldn't be so bad but to simply go day after day by myself with no one to talk to would just drive me nuts! I do appreciate the privacy and freedom. I just don't know if I'd like it ALL OF THE TIME. Who knows....

I've just awakened from what seems to have been a short nap. I don't feel very rested today. I've got my coffee maker on so I'll be waking up soon. I gotta have my caffeine in the morning. Have you ever stopped to think about the many addictions we have in life hovering around us? We have so many things to choose from if we desire them. Well, there's caffeine which is something the majority of people in the world are addicted to in one way or another. I've cut down my caffeine intake considerably. I do have 1 - 2 cups of coffee per day and maybe one diet soda which is much better than what I used to consume. There was a time that I'd avoided it at all costs. That was a weird experience but as time went on, I'd gotten used to it. I'm not sure how it crept back into my life but IT'S BACK! lol
Tobacco is another addiction. I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday. It's a major addiction for me and quite frankly, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever be strong enough to fight this habit again. Unfortunately, I've already purchased a supply of nicotene patches since I was in the process of quitting awhile ago. They were quite expensive and their expiration date is for 2008 so I guess I'd better start thinking a bit more about that, eh? Hmmmmmmm.....

Let's see...other addictions....
There's sex but, well, you have to have that to be addicted to it, right?..AHEM...NEXT!!!

Alcohol is something isn't it. I can honestly say that I'm not addicted to that because I hardly drink any at all. Not even the occassional glass of wine in the evening. Truth be known, I've had a case of Bud Light beer in my refridgerator for about 6 or more months now!! Yep, that's right. Close your mouths. I know some of you are like, "What the hell are ya doin'?" I'm sure it's way past it's date for tasting good by now. Guess I should throw it out. Hehehe...I'm sure I've made some enemies now....

Drugs....I've no use for them. 'Nuff said....

Gambling. Now, this is a biggie. So many people are active gamblers and not one of them will admit to having a problem. I'm not saying that if you play the lottery once in awhile or go to a casino on occassion that you're addicted but come on.... Lets face it. You know there's a problem when you spend your hard earned money on this not knowing if you'll have enough money to pay your bills for the month or buy your groceries for the week but you just want to try to win big so you can do these things. THAT'S A PROBLEM! So many people gamble on a weekly or even a daily basis and see nothing wrong with it. I suppose if you're livin' large enough, it really doesn't matter but, if you're just the common person out there trying to make ends meet then....you better stop and think about that. I know I can't afford it. Nope, can't do it...

So, since I've seemed to have gone off into a rambling spree about addictions for reasons beyond my comprehension, I guess I'd better just stop here and say what I was intending to say from the start. Happy Hump Day everybody! I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and try to avoid some of life's addictions or at least cut down on them a bit. Oh yea, one more....computer usage. That's me! I'm guilty....lol TOODLESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It's in Greek...literally! LOL. Go to http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html
and go to "translate greek to english" copy the text and paste it into the box and voila! You have instant translation. It's pretty cool.

Yep, I'm back smokin' like a chimney so I'm gonna have to start doing some thinkin'. Oh boy, it's so hard...:(

No problem...I don't use firefox either, I tried it before and I guess I was just too used to the "old ways" lol and it never took. I just happened to recognize the language it was written in, I have a knack for recognizing what a language is written or spoken, even if I don't "know" it, so on a hunch I ran it through the translator.
