Wow Neil!

Humpicide? GREAT word.

And pre-meditated Humpicide? Excellent!

Funny about the bottle of wine. I was doing a massive (long overdue) clean out of my clothing about a month ago, and came across a bottle of Vodka stashed at the back of some shoe boxes. Like you Neil, I was almost dispassionate. Funnily, I felt no shame or anger, and definitely no desire. I took it out and gave it to my husband, with an ironic smile on my face. He took one look at the bottle, then my smile, and started laughing. (Trust me, he's found the odd bottle of stashed vodka over the years!) But what made him laugh, was seeing me completely unaffected and not even trying to get rid of it surreptitiously. He told me I looked free. He's seen how hard I've worked at this.

I haven't the heart to tell him just how hard I still work at being 'free', but it was a nice moment.

This is just soooo worth it.
