What's everyone up to right now?

[The Valkyrie]

I just made a terrible realisation.

Due to various issues, it's been fucking ages since I got laid!

2020 continues to make me question my commitment to weekday sobriety, not being a drug addict, and remaining a productive member of the human species.

Join us. We got the solution in a bottle to make you forget ... just takes an ass-munch amount of it to work, though.

But seriously; I drink because of all the suckiness, and not merely because of being in a social setting - I just make sure I don't drink alone. I've promised myself to never drink alone again, because shit hit the fan last time I did for an extended period of time.

Also, I used to smoke 2 packs of Prince cigarettes along with about half a pack of Samson tobacco. Each. Fucking. Day. For some 5 years. I did smoke since I was 13 years old, but that was while hiding it from the grown-ups behind the school, and was uncommon. Didn't really take off until 5 years later, when I could legally buy them.

I got a literal wake-up call when I woke up one morning around 4 am in November of 2004, while staying in my room in a campus in Denmark, where I got a tobacco cough so severe that I thought that I was gonna choke and die from asphyxiation. Instead of breathing, I spent the longest minute of my life just coughing. That is when I thought to myself "fuck this shit" and went on a cold turkey halt on that same day. The next 3 months or so were "nice", but I did have a very strong sense and "inspiration" of not smoking for obvious reasons. I had attempted to quit before, but every time before this "nice" experience that early November morning, the craving always overcame my desire to not smoke; I must've attempted at least 10 times or so, can't really remember the exact amount. BTW, that stupid craving - albeit much weaker now - is still there, right now even, if I think about smokes like I'm doing right now.

During these past 16 years I have smoked a total amounting to 2 packs of Prince cigs, and every time because someone offered me a cig, and I was too drunk or something to decline.

Don't start drinking (again), or do heavy drugs or any similar crap. But if you must, do it in a public place, and for Jebus' sake, not alone. Goddamn COVID-19, though.

I'm, BTW, watching this nice lock-down inspired Apocalyptica "Live concert" from 25th April 2020:

I went back to working five days a week, instead of four, and my alcohol consumption has increased.

Just found out that all three of my bosses are out for the rest of the week and the work they need to do to make it so I can do my work isn't going to happen.

Guess today is a short day and tomorrow even shorter.

I'm good with that.

Sucking the yard.

I miss the burning.

My usual experience is that when the boss buggers off I end up with his work.

Oh...next week is going to suck.  But as of now I had an easy day and tomorrow will be even easier.

Enjoy it while you can.
