Day 119 - Annual Donation Drive to Indian Casino

Today is the first day of my week long vacation.  It's also the lastest quarterly followup check with my primary physician.  The numbers from the blood test done last Thursday was good, my Glycated hemoglobin is 5, well in range of 4-6 of my lab.  As a matter of fact, it's my best number ever.  So, I'm officially off Byetta and Metformin.  I'll still have another follow up in 3 months, and if that goes well, my check up will be 6 months after that, and then just annual physical examine.

After the doctor's appointment, I took my brother to the company store to do his office Christmas shopping.  One particular item jump out and he decided to buy 21 of them, thus finishing all of his shopping in one trip.  By the time we got there, the restaurant was switching from breakfast to lunch, so I just have an espresso double shot for breakfast.

And now for the title of this post.  I usually take one week off early in December so I can still accrue vacation time.  This year happens to coincide with the next Warcraft expansion, so it works out well.  On the Monday of every one of these week long vacation, I usually take out the amount of money I'm comfortable donating to the Indian casino and drive there to have lunch and a little bit of gambling.  I call it my annual donation drive to the Indian casino because that's really what's happening.  I go with my usual method of limited action: put the winning into the winning pile, and when the original pile is through, the gaming is done.  I watch as other people come in and casually loose $500 in less than 4 hands.  My little pile of money lasted me about 30 minutes, and I have the exact same amount of money as I started.  At least the Casino didn't loose their shirt on me, as we have lunch there.  No buffet this year as it makes no sense this time around.
