Yesterday was a temptation. I actually started to head to casino. I worked in the morning into the early afternoon. When I was finished I thought I do have the rest of the day and there is "freeplay' in my account. I am going to go for it. Nothing better to do. Then I thought of the money, $800.00 in my wallet. Self talk while driving....You will blow it (the money) you know you will. Do you really need to waste your time in the Black Hole ruining your body, sitting, pushing buttons until God knows what time? Go find something worthwhile to do. I turned the car around in someone's driveway. Drove to the supermarket and spent $85 on food. I bought food for grilling, drove to my friends house. He was mowing the awn. He looked happy to see me. I said we are going to have a barbecue! He was so happy. So I went inside made a massive fresh organic salad, marinated salmon steaks and cooked up some rice w/pineapple. I threw together a simple dessert. When he was through with mowing everything was ready.
I said let's eat. We did. We ate, talked, laughed, told jokes, poked fun at one another. Then we made a fire outside and talked some more. I went into the house after a couple of hours and brought out dessert. he said 'I sure don't know what I did to deserve all this" I smiled and said I can't thank you enough for letting me chill here with you today, it was good for my soul.
Feeling good today. Going for a walk.

That's such a cool day. Such a great set of memories to have. Instead of just the Black Hole.
