Today was out of control. It was fun, but a day of excess. I ate a lot, I gambled a lot and I drank a lot of caffeine. I’m glad it’s almost over.

I felt really worked up for much of the day. Like I was way too stimulated. It’s not often I feel that way and I don’t enjoy it anymore. It was likely a result of the caffeine, sugar and gambling. At times I felt totally out of control. I’m grateful to no longer crave that feeling.

I played a lot of slot machines. I spent most of that time playing double up bonus poker. I can’t say I really like it that much, but it seems like the best way to try to win money. And thankfully I did win some money. I am probably up $400-$500 since we got here. I spent around $100 on food and other stuff so all in all it was a good weekend. I don’t think I’ll rush back down here and I recognize I got lucky as far as winning goes. It could have just as easily gone the other way.

It’ll be nice to be back home tomorrow. I’ve got some work to do job searching and other things. I feel ready to start on that. Yay!
