Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 21, 2019

Just one more strip on my My Comics list.

Just one more hour before going to bed.

I used to lay down in bed and read a book for about an hour before going to sleep. Now it’s less than 5 minutes.

You could always go on the dole, Aunty. It would probably be as much as Ged is paying you.

Just one more pizza.

I’m not a food junkie. but put me on the computer – working, studying or playing – and it’s almost impossible to step away. When reading, it has never been one more page, always one more chapter!

One more box of wine.

I stopped lying to myself years ago.

I’m Going to Finish that book before I do anything else.

Yes, I’d rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks

Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue

I’d rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades

Than spend one more minute with you

I’d rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands

and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it ’till I die

Than spend one more minute with you

I’ll pull just one more weed then go in the house.

Just one more slice of bacon.

And so it goes…compulsion after desire after no will power after starvation…oops. I quit there!

When I smoked, I used to quit every Sunday night. After many years, I finally did. :)
