My Addiction

Well, today is Friday and I'm sitting here on a dialysis machine for four hours. I'm using an Apple Ipad my family gave me as a gift for Christmas. The intent was to help pass the time while I sit in this chair getting my blood cleaned. This is a good thing, don't get me wrong.
The problem is I've become addicted to the IPad. Seems like I just can't put it down. It's gotten to the point I use it at home all the time. I get up in the morning and there it is sitting on the counter waiting. Unplug it from the charger and we're off.
Now I've discovered facebook, twitter and a few other social networks. This kinda adds fuel to the fire. Oh, I almost forgot to mention this blog.
I think I'm enjoying this way too much so, I figure it's got to be an addiction. So far my wife is handling this ok, as long as the Red Sox games are on. My worry is, after the season is over, she's going to want me to talk to her at night when theres' nothing to watch on tv. This could be a problem because guy's wives usually like to have meaningful conversations at least once in a while.
So, I'm starting to try and break the habit a little at a time. I figure maybe I'll take up drinking or smoking...nah, just another couple of bad habits I'd have to kick! In the mean time I'm going to get back on the IPad..I Need to do some social networking!
