When's the Weekend?

Man it's been a long week and it's only Thursday. One more day to go. The new job's awesome... it's a lot of work but it's all really fun/cool, so it makes it neat. I'm trying to ride my bike to work when I can, it's downhill all the way to work and uphill all the way home, but it's an easy incline so it's not too bad. Not the most fun thing in 100+ degree heat though, blech.



Chuck & I went to Cherokee Casino for kicks late Sunday night, just to go check it out. I put $5 in a machine and on the 3rd or so pull won about $145 bucks! I let it get down to $130 then decided that I liked money better, so I cashed out. I think I can taste a Chef Nobu special dinner coming up for us soon from my winnings!

My back's been giving me inordinate amounts of grief, I'm trying to keep exercising my core and working out and riding the bike and stuff but it more or less dully aches from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. It bites. Thinking of trying acupuncture to relieve the pressure. Oh to NOT be allergic to NSAID's so I could take aspirin or ibuprofen like normal people. Tylenol is a joke.

The casino got me thinking about playing some blackjack, and I signed up at Golden Palace (online casino) to play for real cash. So far I'm up about $150 real money that I could cash out at any point. My trick (aside from learning a few blackjack tips) is to quit when I win, lol. So if I happen to win $10 in a few minutes, I just log out and call it good. I think the longer you stay and play the more you'll lose. Makes for good one-off 45-second entertainment though. :)

I want more rain! *pouts*
