Day 5. Headaches and not sleeping well still rule the roost. Internal dialogue getting funny....The tobacco pouch (TP), still untouched (by me) on the shelf, getting v grumpy - wife still uses it but has cut down in solidarity.
TP: And where have you been?
Clod: I quit.
TP: You did WHAT?
Clod: I quit.
TP: *sniffs* Are you sure?
Clod: Yes.
TP: Don't you want even a little sniff?
Clod: No, you smell like a wombats backside anyway.
TP: No need to be like that.
Clod: Yes there is.
TP: Why be so cruel to yourself?
Clod: Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
TP: Platitudes! Have a nice cuppa and a ciggy, eh?
Clod: No! Go away!
TP: But I'm starving.....FEED ME!
Clod: Where are you?
TP: I live in that hungry place just above your tummy and below your diaphragm.
Clod: In which case, you're a parasite..
TP: Well *huffs*, if you're going to be like THAT...
Clod: I am. Count on it.
