Woe is me

My apologies for neglecting my readers! I have become seriously addicted to Bloons Tower Defense and have spent the last week or so playing, and playing, and playing, and playing, and playing... I beat Bloons Tower Defense #1 BUT cannot for the life of me beat Bloons Tower Defense 2. I get to level 50, the last level, and then I frickin' die, again, and again, and again, and again! GRRRARAAAAAHHHGGGG!!!! I've slept,though less than usual. I have done dishes, laundry, etc. but MUCH less than usual. I have worked on the Zoo newsletter, but not diligently. I play on my lunch break at work. I think about it during the day - strategizing on how I could possibly beat it. It's totally ruining my life. And, I just can't stop. I played it for the last 2 hours. This sucks. I also have to acknowledge the fact that I am still playing on Easy - easy my a$$! F&$#! I want to play it again now.
As an aside I found out that I must use up my banked time by January so I am taking a few days off over the next couple of weeks. Ideally, I can use this time to clean up my ramshackle of a place. Do some shopping for Christmas. That sort of thing. My fear is that I will play Bloons Defense until I fall asleep, but I will try very hard to use my time more wisely. This is a battle of will and I must persevere!
