I’m exhausted from lack of sleep
My hands are swollen and sore
My neck, back, and arms ache
I’m neglecting family and friends

I’ve become addicted to the Wii.

This is why I haven’t been around. I have recognized that I have a problem. I hit rock bottom when I started arguing with my kids about whose turn it was and sneaking on every chance I could get. I spent hours upon hours playing and became irritable when interrupted.

It was bad.

But I have quit cold turkey and have not played the Wii for two days. Actually, I had to quit. My hands are so painful that I don’t think I could hold the remotes. This is the one time that I’m thankful that I suffer from TMB (Too Many Birthdays). My aging body doesn’t have the stamina.

I am suffering minor withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia because I lie awake thinking about how Mario needs to collect more stars to save Princess Peach.

I avoid going into a room where there is a Wii to avoid temptation.

With rest and the loving support of family and friends I should be back to my old self soon.
