I can almost relate to that. I'm thinking tonight I might stay up, drink, read norse and/or celtic mythology and have my childhood cartoons playing in the background. Luckily, I do not have work tomorrow

11 hours into my (originally) 10 hour shift, finally getting more than a 2-3 minute break. I'd go get something to eat, but at this point I'll just wait until I get home.
Made my night. Congrats, man, great way to pass a test.

Having work is having work. I also have to think on the job - that's really exhausting.

So naturally I do this!

On the subject of Christmas...
I really think it's time to not smoke any more.
Tried a bunch of the substitutes in the past, still turned out to not be a quitter
Looking at vaping as an intrerim instead (between smoking and nothing).
Maybe it'll work
Do a fight.
There is no better motivation than someone publicly smashing your head in to get you quitting bad habits.
Two big issues with that.
If I lose I'll probably 'commiserate' with a cig.
If I win I'll probably 'celebrate' with a cig.
So yeah...
Thing is, I don't smoke all that much (relatively speaking) and I make my own rather than 'standard' cigs - but it's just annoying now and getting ever more expensive.

Ah nice, take your time with it if you really want to give it up. And find what works for you too and make it a very gradual quitting. Don't believe the nonsense about having to go 'cold turkey' and 'toughen up' (that being said some people can do it however). As long as you do it as a kindness to yourself, and also to not judge yourself for smoking (too many people already probably giving you that!). Everyone's got their own 'things' we just keep going back to.
Just my $0.02!!

Tried the gradual cutting down thing too, I just don't have the consistency to make any progress with it.

Is it weird to simultaneously contemplate Socrates (I am doing a translation of a novella involving Socrates) and challenges of martial arts training while being very short?

Indeed. It's actually a very powerful story. It sort of humanizes Socrates, his pupils, his thoughts... I cried twice while translating it - and I am only halfway through.
