Feeling good...

About myself ... for the first time in awhile. And I do not say that very often, without pills or alcohol (or both) in my system. Well, this time I DO have a pill in my system, but that is not the reason for the feeling. I think I mentioned that I went to play poker Tuesday night and played like shit. Well, I knew that Cherokee changed their morning tournaments to $20 buy-in with unlimited $5 rebuys. I figured what the hell. I haven't seen my favorite dealer for 5 weeks and wanted to let her know I was alive. Of course, she was not there. However, before the tournament started I decided to throw $20 into a slot machine. Walked away from that machine 10 minutes before the tournament started with a $270 voucher. WOOHOO! I only then spent a total of $50 on the poker tournament...

NOW, under normal circumstances I would come home and relax, because I now had the money for the $115 tournament at 5pm today. Instead, I put the money in the bank and worked on my yard for 2 1/2 hours. The 5 bushes (there were 6, I took one out last week) in front of my porch are now GONE!! That's right! I chopped them all down. On Monday, Ann will go to get lawn bags and Anthony and I will bag them all up to get picked up on Wednesday. It would be great if I knew someone who could pick them all up for burning, but I don't. Such is life.

Now, Ann is cooking dinner and we are going to watch the NY Islanders/NY Rangers hockey game in a few minutes. And after dinner, I'll take another pill. Life is good!
