1. It's not the money.
I don't spend enough money on a visit to the CdA Casino to affect much in our family life and if I happen to win at the casino, it's always some very modest amount.
I go to the casino to enjoy the suspense of spinning reels and the relaxation of leaving the other more serious matters of my life temporarily behind and enter into the world of silly sounds and computer generated visuals of the gaming floor.
I mask up, slip on vinyl gloves, and keep the stakes low so that I can relax.
Today, I picked up Ed around 7:30 and so my visit to the CdA Casino today included the added bonus of yakkin' with Ed on the drive down and back and getting caught up on what's happening these days and offering each other our expert analysis and reasonable, iron clad, absolutely correct opinions 🤣.
2. I also enjoy dining at the Red Tail Bar and Grill at the CdA Casino at lunch time, Ed and I sat down for a meal.
I satisfied my recent months long jonesing for Swiss cheese and mushrooms by enjoying a Mushroom and Swiss Cheese burger, an order of fries, and a zero alcohol Michelob.
More relaxation.
More pleasure.
3. I maintained the low key, slow go mood and tempo of the day when I returned home.
I hadn't worked the puzzles I usually complete in the morning, so I enjoyed completing those.
While working these puzzles, I nodded off several times, unsurprisingly. I didn't sleep many hours last night, so I wrapped up my slow go day by going to bed early, hoping to sleep more hours tonight than I have been recently.
