Need to stop procrastinating on things

Why does it say 'Forum Addiction"?
Does that mean we are addicted to forums? Shouldn't it have a : in between the word Forum and Addiction?
other wise it implies that this is the forum for addiction to forums.
and
if not i'm in the wrong forum because i'm not an addict.
i'm a mess but i don't do drugs or drink.
can one be addicted to other things?
like avoidance?
and
are we allowed 2 random thoughts for the day?

Trying to fix my fucked up sleep cycle again. I tried last week and failed miserably. Have had this problem since forever. Always end up on night cycles if I'm not working, where I wake up at 2 or 3PM. It makes me unable to get anything done. Even when I am working I will semi-revert back to it on the weekends. Then on Mondays I'm a total mess at work from lack of sleep.

Totally unproductive and not put together. I wanted to sell a couple of large pieces of furniture last Friday and I did get a couple interested emails but of course I woke up too late and they wanted the furniture that day. I'm such a mess.

So today I attempted to stay up. Of course, I ended up taking a nap 11AM-3PM. Ugh. Was woken up to someone knocking on my door. Didn't answer it because usually it's someone up to no good like scam artists. Turns out it was FedEx. Finally got my check from IKEA. Took them over 7 weeks. Didn't know they were going to send it by FedEx. For the past few weeks, everyday at around 1AM (to avoid people) I would go down to the lobby with great anticipation to check my mailbox.

I returned my dresser that was part of this huge recall IKEA had. Apparently, their dressers easily tip over and kill/maim small children. Not a concern of mine but since I'm moving far away, I have to get rid of all my furniture anyways. I tried to sell it on craigslist at first and weirdly got over 12 emails and then by the next day my advert had been flagged and removed. Seems some people are trying to make a profit by buying them for cheap off craigslist and then returning them for the full price at IKEA.

There was one weird email too:

A week late, but I have decided to give up swearing for lent. Although only just now. At half one AM. So this may not be a serious thing.

As an incentive, every time I swear, I will donate a pound to charity. Given the fact that I have a lot of coding to do, and generally coding involves me swearing "Just Fecking work!" at the computer a lot, this might get quite costly. =/

I tried to look up a list as reference for "banned words", but it was odd. Buzzfeed even had a list of "British Swearwords.". Never heard of half of them though. "Bint" "Bert" "Cack" and "Cad" are not ones I've heard of. Also "Blimey" "Blighter" "Bloody" "Blooming" "Cobblers" "Codger" "Crickey" "Duffer" "Gormless" "Numpty" "Poxy" and "Wally" are things you say if you are trying to offend someone from the 18th century, and for the most part, are fairly harmless. Bloody hell, what a stereotype.

Omg, just the idea and the mental image of trying to offend someone from the 18th century with those words gave me a good laugh

How has the effort to give up on swearing been going?

I swore once today. I owe charity a pound.
