I know that addiction feeling. Dangerous, especially if you really haven't got the time, as I certainly don't. Rather quiet tonight, due to assorted circumstances; been cooking, which I miss, and have stuffed the son sufficiently to get him off the computer. This is an ardently Catholic country, but the Catholicism is totally different, and would in many ways be unrecognizable to American Catholics. At first glance it seems to have adopted an overlay of folk religion, examined more deeply, it sometimes seems that the native religion simply adopted an overlay of Catholic ritual. In many ways it is more relaxed. Guilt is certainly not a major issue among the majority of the populace, and sex is fine as long as nobody sees it. Those who do get guilt-struck tend to take it to extremes, though: every easter there are people here who have themselves crucified out of atonement, or sympathy, or something.

Boy, been there, done that. Now I limit myself to stocks and DAR and Feelings, and even that takes too much time. I did get a maid but the house is still a mess. And we have a gardener, and the yard is still a mess. The boys are large, useless humanoid masses and it's not worth the effort it takes to get them to do anything although I've been told I am doing them a grave disservice and they are not going to be good husbands and homeowners. Well, mothers have to have at least one area they fail bigtime in and this is mine. Besides, being Catholic, I can drown in all this well-deserved guilt.
