When I started this thing I told myself that I was going to keep up with it and write almost everyday. However when I get home in the mornings the heat added with the stress at work just makes me so tired I end up going to bed. Need to make a effort to keep this thing up to date and also add to it and get it the way I want it to be and can be proud of.
Last week at work was not too bad for the most part. It is just the summer heat that sort of wears me down this time of year and leads to me feeling the blues. When I think back upon it the past work week was one of the best I have had in awhile.
Friend got to go to LV last week and just got back late last night. He only plays BJ with a little craps thrown in from time to time. This is like his 5th or 6th trip this year already and I have only been able to make 1 so far this year which sucks big time. He had a winning trip and won a few hundred to go along with free rooms and food and 1 free airline ticket. Boy LV is a cheap good vacation when everything works out. Due to money matters I'm having right now and having to use my gambling bankroll on some bills, it looks more and more like I won't be able to make it out again until my birthday week in October. I just need to buckle down and quit spending so much and try to save a little but it is hard. Prices of everything cost some much right now it is crazy and hard to save anything! Hell I may have to get a second job just to pay the bills.
On the home front things are going pretty well. My nephew went with a church group to Texas and 6 Flags and had a great time. He starts school now in about 10 days. I remember years ago when I was in school we didn't start back until the Thursday before Labor Day. Of course we didn't have A/C in the classrooms either like they do now. Still it will be good when school starts back up and these kids will be off the streets at night which is good for my job and will be in school during day which is good for my sleeping habits...Laugh.
Food wise I have really gotten into a rut. Some old stuff every week it seems. Case in point last night I didn't feel like cooking but didn't want to get cleaned up and go anywhere either. So I ended up getting a hamburger at Sonic. What a waste! Oh it was alright but not great. To make up for it I'm going to have home made tacos today with a new salsa that I'm going to try and make here at home. Store bought salsa sucks big time and I have tried just about all of them I think.
This weekend I have not done anything at all except read and sleep. I'm almost done with 2 of my books and need to finish them since there is a new book out that I want to buy and read called "under the neon sky" wrote by a guy who use to be a doorman at the MGM for about 10 years or so. Sounds interesting and I want to be done with these other books and just read this one book by itself this time.
On the VP front I have not practiced at all this weekend or much last week at all. When you don't have a trip coming up and can't make it out there for a few months you start thinking "Why bother"? However I need to get back on it and start getting pumped up about my future trips that I'm sure to be taking this fall.
Tonight it is back to the grind...yuck. My next vacation break is not until Labor Day week. Can't wait for that.
