coffee + cigarettes.

i've been spending way too much time lazing in the sun on my balcony, smoking, drinking coffee and searching the internet for new items to add to my never-ending wishlist. this is problematic for several reasons...
 

1) i gave up smoking on a regular basis some time ago now. unfortunately B smokes which has kind of tempted me to take up the bad habit again. i do realise, however, that smoking isn't an ideal coping mechanism nor is it making my lungs very happy.
 

2) i've always been a tea kind of girl but lately i've been craving coffee like some kind of addict, despite being well aware that caffeine sends my already sensitive nervous system into overdrive. for me, the only positive outcome of caffeine consumption is that all the nervous energy it generates turns me into a cleaning machine so my apartment is at least kept spotless.
 

3) my miserable bank account cannot afford all my wants, yet i still try to convince it otherwise. when i see something i like i tend to obsess about it until it's in my possession...therefore spending a ridiculous amount of time browsing my favourite online stores is a recipe for financial disaster. i'm trying my hardest to exercise restraint.

on the plus side, all the natural vitamin d i've been absorbing surely must counteract the above to some extent...at least that's what i like to tell myself! the weather lately has simply been too wonderful to stay indoors.
