Fighting the WoW Addiction

So my husband went back to World of Warcraft about a week ago. Past three days its been a little bit more difficult to resist. But the yearning to create art is greater, and the apartment threatens to either smother me or maim me if I do not regularly administer it with cleaning solvents and firm pressure. I've concluded one of two things must eventually occur for this to be off of my mind:

A) I get the ATI TV Wonder card so I can wtfpwn in Soul Calibur 2 and Fable on the XBOX supplemented with reinstalling Unreal Tournament GOTY after I get finished with Frozen Throne.

B) I capitulate to my weakness and resub under the discipline of limiting my play time. Not just for when I'm not doing housework or stuff, because that doesn't amount to any creative output in me. It just doesn't work that way.

I'm not sure which is going to happen, but I'm trying to get a grasp for how much time I need daily to keep up with housework and how long I normally stay on focus to sketch out new ideas. I miss Solaresa and Mayoke, but I know that I have an overwhelming tendency to obsess/tunnel-vision to the exclusion of all else when I play this game. And I can't really afford to do that right now. No rush anyway, neither of them are geared up for raid or keyed up or level 60. I think Solar was the one closest to that goal.
