Free time

So I've got oodles of free time, now that I'm not drinking, so what habit should replace it?  Chain smoking?  Not a recession friendly hobby.  Knitting?  It does keep your hands busy, and it can be done while watching cartoons, but it does involve counting, so that's out.  Maniacally cleaning the studio?  It took me forever to break M's habit of obsessively cleaning our home, which I'm beginning to regret, but I shouldn't start what I convinced another to stop... what's a recession friendly, non sanity-sucking hobby? I know,  I'll become a housewife!  No, not the type that does anything useful, but the type that wears a glamours housecoat and those high heel slippers with the little fuzzy tufts on 'em.  Yes, this is indeed a brilliant idea.  Oh, I'll keep my day job, but the minute I walk through the security door, up the five flights of stairs, and through our front (and only) door I will transform  into my housewife persona.   All I need to complete the outfit is a bottle of valium(check!) and an ice cold martini... damn.
