December 8

Well howdy! I've had my shower, stuck my hearing aids in, popped my partial plate into the big hole, got my glasses, took a Celebrex and have drank four cups of coffee. This old man is ready to go!

No sun yet this morning nor was there much yesterday but we did get a little rain. They're saying no rain along with very little sun today. Seems like home to me. All except that damn wind. I'm not used to that much competition.

Our aim for this day is for the Sunset Station Casino. We're going to meet Aunt Ruby and Uncle Carl there around 2:00 for the buffet. We all have two for one coupons. We might get there a little early and play 1:00 bingo with Aunt Ruby. I'm not sure it isn't just the coffee but I'm feeling pretty lucky today!

I don't know what to say about Glenda. I stayed home so she could have enough money to play a few machines while with Ruby on their day out. She didn't loose much but she didn't win anything either. I make these sacrifices so she can enjoy herself but she cuts me short. I had a teeny glass of free champagne at Terrible's Casino the other day. While she had two, she wouldn't let me have a second one because I was the driver. I'm saying very teeny glasses of the stuff!

She also won't let me obligate us to payments on a new laptop computer, telling me we don't need it. Hey, she doesn't need more than three or four tops either but she bought two more the other day at the Goodwill store on Warm Springs Road. Then, on top of that she got another ten given to her by Aunt Ruby. The list just goes on and on.

One would think I'd be used to it all by now but like Mikey, I get up to a new day every morning. If you have any control at all, a fresh start every day would be swell. Unfortunately I have so little control my day gets a little rank once in awhile. It doesn't make any difference tho, just like an idiot at McDonalds, I'm lovin it.

Still, it makes me think a little like Mike Armstrong sometimes. He says, "I've been married so long I don't even look both ways when I cross the street anymore."
