My girl was all grossed out about me having a dip during the movie last night. She asked me to quit, I said No way, she drops my hand and we walk out of the theater almost like strangers.
After about an hour, I realized I picked up again after we'd been together almost two years, and if I wasn't doing it when we got together that this isn't what she signed up for. I can't ask her to put up with it if I wasn't doing it when we got together. OK, I'll kick.
In mid-kick right now, feeling like bees are crawling all over my face and back. This sucks. And that's OK, this is what I have to do tonight. I did tell her that I drink and I do certain other things and that those are non-negotiable, don't even ask.
I kicked over Xmas, and I'm doing it again now. I'll pull it off once again.
