So today was kinda...well I don't know how to describe it really. This morning I slept past my usual time. My body was just so relaxed that I finally slept past 5:30am. I woke up around 7am. By then, it was pretty bright and sunny out. Lees hadn't come home yet so I jumped up, washed up then I straightened up the place. Just as I finished up, lisa came home. She was so tired. We talked a bit, then she went to sleep. After she did, I got ready then I headed up to the casino. I was so consumed by that place and how much fun I had yesterday that I wasn't even thinking about exercising this morning. I just wanted to get back up there and jump on the machines. Bad, I know. I know now! I got up there and played. I did really good. I only used 5 bucks and I made it last for 3 hours. Then after I finally lost it, I popped in another ten bucks and I played that until I lost it. Then I popped in a twenty and I played that until I lost it. Then I started to get scared. I didn't want to lose more money so I made the decision to play another twenty and try and get my other twenty back. So I did. I most of it. I got all the way down to about six bucks, then down to two dollars left. I was scared and very angry at myself. But, at the last possible moment I was on the quarter machines and I almost hit the jackpot! I hit two straight bonus symbols. One more would've won me several hundred dollars, but instead I won $46 bucks. I GOT MY MONEY BACK!!! Well, most my money. After that, I cashed out. I was so lucky in that hit and I'm so glad I got my money back. I still lost about 15 bucks, but that's ok. Lot better than 55 dollars, dang! So yes, I learned a very Very valuable lesson today! God definitely showed me the dangers I was playing with and He pulled me out of it. I know now that it's very dangerous to make decisions. I know when to quit now and what not to ever let go of. Trust me, I definitely got a lot out of this day! Most ppl make stupid mistakes but never learn from it. Me, I take every mistake I make as a learning experience and I never make light of it in any way. I got a lot out of this. I was scared that I was slacking off on my exercising. I never wanted to do that, but because I didn't walk this morning, I was beating myself up.
So to make up for it, I left the casino after that win. I came home, turned on the Air Conditioner and gave my animals fresh cool water. Then I took a long shower and cleaned all the mistakes off my body. Then I made Lisa some lunch and when she woke up, I made sure she ate. I told her about my crazy adventure today and she was very understanding. That's what I love most about her, she's never judgmental towards me. She's always so understanding. That's why she's my Best Friend. She really knows how to make me feel great especially after I know I screwed up big time. So after she went to work, I cleaned up my yard outside. I cut some weeds and really straightened up the place. Then, I measured my bow shooting distances out there. I got the place where I will set up my target, then I measured the 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yard marks so I can start shooting daily or whenever I can. I took a few shots also and now, I'm totally ready. I also filled up my hummingbird feeder because it was dead empty. To make up for my 6 mile walk that I didn't do this morning, tonight I did DDPyoga! Oh my gosh, it was super hard. Right now, my body feels so weak. I was sweating like crazy after that workout, but I felt great!! I'm very proud of how this day ended. I didn't lose myself after all. I made a mistake this morning, but I will never do that again and I know that for a fact! God put a really great head on my shoulders and I know how to use it. I will take these mistakes and learn from them.
So today was a great day, well I mean it ended on a great note. Now, Lisa is in bed sleeping and I'm about to hit the sack. Tomorrow, I'm getting up early and doing my 6 miles and I will never stop, only for my Rest Days, then the following day I'll be out there again. My Fyrescape Journey is not even half over yet. I've got a long way to go ;) Goodnight!
